Approves of CEO
Pros

My position offers flexible work hours, which is good for me and my family. The company rewards smart employees who can continue to innovate and improve manufacturing and design processes, even in these tough times. New technology is still being researched and implemented, so there are opportunities to work on cutting-edge projects. There are many opportunities to work on global programs, which offers the chance to travel overseas.

Cons

The auto industry is doing very poorly, so the opportunities for growth are limited. Job cuts seem to be coming our way with the lack of sales. The health care coverage co-pays keep increasing every year, so it's become much more expensive to get full coverage.

Advice to Management

We need to keep producing great vehicles and find ways to eliminate waste. We also need to reduce the number of dealerships.
