Chrysler Reviews

Pros

The environment at chrysler was really nice. You manager and direct are very nice, and they are very happy to help you get started

Cons

I do not think there are much down side of Chrysler, if there is, I would say giving more optional assignment to the intern who work there.

Offer development opportunities to employees allowing them to rotate and move every 24-36 months. Define a goal based incentive comp plan that goes well below just the executive level.

Large company that does not allow close hands on interaction between employee and supervisor.

Nice facility. Some passionate people, great products. Some middle management good to work for. Some fun events, such as family fun day at the facility.

Cons

Good ole boy network firmly in place. Salaries not consistent with job duties. 50 hr plus week on 40 hr salary. Lots of beaurcracy. Every director and above wants things done their way. Some upper management is more interested in getting next promotion instead of helping their staff get the job done.

Advice to Senior Management

More work life balance. Revisit salary and job duities. Stop with last minute travel to Turin, allow all to fly same class, not just upper management in first class. Make all reqquirements the same across directors.

Multiple projects and work hard

Cons

There was too much less compensation than it was before and we had to work hard to wrap up our projects.
