Pros

Solid pay & profit sharing. Great coworkers. Flexibility in work day, e.g., able to leave for personal appointments and occasionally able to take off comp time from overtime.

Cons

Far from as structured as one would expect in a big and well-established auto manufacturer.

Days can be chaotic and stressful, and you may end up with assignments well out of your scope/regular duties.

HR directors can give you the boot (or, PIP or separation choice) because operating costs must be lowered and you didn't find time to fill out your self-evaluation. The PIP contained three items. One I was vaguely aware of (brought up in mid-year) and was improving on. The other two no one had even hinted to me needed improvement.

Advice to Management

Stop constantly putting out fires. Introduce a proper management system through and through.
