Pros

-Freedom in the structure of your role -Healthcare benefits are good overall (with the exception of mental health and substance abuse) -The company is overall embracing the technology advancements from COVID to work from home (30% in office and 70% telecommute), with the exception of their propulsion system engineers (50%/50% requirement). -Opportunities for visibility amongst high levels of leadership -Unlimited sick days -Increased vacation days to start at a minimum of 15 days per year -Flexible with doctor’s appointments and other similar commitments -Recognizes a growing family as an equal partnership between both parents, by offering a parental leave to both mother and father for the birth of their child. -lots of opportunities for education, especially for electric vehicle engineering.

Cons

-Limited opportunities for promotion and salary increase (most things are considered a “parallel move”, regardless of increased visibility and responsibility). -Mental health and substance abuse benefits are accepted by very few providers, which results in poor care. -We’re understaffed and not replacing employees who leave. We have lost a massive amount of talent and that stress is left on the people who are left. -The company doesn’t follow its own guidelines for ethical behaviors that they expect from their employees. -Salaries are offensively low -Programs are planned with unrealistic timelines, which limits opportunities for improvement and implementing lessons learned. -The company thrives off of employees doing the work of two or more people -Fear based leadership tactics

Pros

Some coworkers truly carry this company on their backs. They're hardworking, supportive, and do everything they can to help each other survive the daily chaos. The workload itself is manageable with proper leadership, and the pay/benefits are decent. But honestly, the only thing that made the job tolerable was my coworkers, not management.

Cons

The management culture in my department was toxic. There’s a complete lack of accountability, communication, and professionalism. Compliance issues were ignored constantly. Customer checks would sit for months without being posted, and management treated it like “business as usual,” even though it put the company at risk. When employees raised concerns, it went nowhere because management simply didn’t care. Nepotism is also alive and well. A department manager position was handed to someone with no experience strictly because she was friends with a higher-up. Every department, even outside our area, knows she is not qualified for the job. Decisions like that make it clear that advancement is based on who you know, not what you bring to the table. It kills morale and makes people stop trying, because why compete when the outcome is already decided? The overall environment leaves you feeling drained, micromanaged, and undervalued. Expectations change every day, training is inconsistent, and instead of actual support, management uses pressure and fear. It’s an environment where doing your best still isn’t enough, because management doesn’t hold themselves to the same standards they demand from everyone else.
