Pros
  • Relaxed work environment.
  • You get discounts on cars (if you so choose to buy one).
  • You get insider information on new products.

Advice to Management

At least at the plant level, I think for the most part management is doing what they need to do. You may need to better manage the rate at which you produce cars so that there aren't so many days in the field.
