Pros

Vehicle discounts, good benefits, decent compensation package, challenging work environment, opportunities for advancement exist for those willing to play the game

Cons

No respect for work/life balance, although overtime is paid for some salaried employees, it is typical to put in for 20 hours of overtime during a pay period and have an area manager arbitrarily decide you will be paid for less than half of them. The company owns you. I have known people whose vacations to Europe were cancelled at the last second because they were suddenly needed to fill in for a manager's pet employee. My area manager used to throw his two-way radio at people and berate supervisors in front their employees.

Pros

Moving to in-house more software, opportunities for mentorship and connection with higher-up employees, high visibility projects

Cons

As is common throughout the auto industry at this time - the corporate priorities change frequently resulting in reorgs, changing projects, and unclear long-term vision.
