Pros

Work wasn't bad; it was quite exciting to work on cars. The 17 holidays and other benefits are great. I got 9 months' salary severance; you can't beat that.

Cons

It seems you need to have a "champion" or friend in the ranks to move up. The Blackbelt program was good until they downsized it and blended it into the rest of the company. Oh, and the company is downsizing every month, so getting a job and keeping it would be a challenge.

Advice to Management

Get a niche. BMW is "fun to drive", Toyota is "quality", Ford is...?
