Chrysler Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Chrysler full-time for more than a year

Pros – no cost for benefits and paid overtime

Advice to Senior Management – Share ALL details with potential hires

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Chrysler full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Wide variety of people and responsibilities to work with; somewhat autonomous

Cons – Changing senior management priorities; unreliable product planning driving chaotic vehicle programs and bad volume management on the supply side... tarnished image. Can get too political at times.

Advice to Senior Management – Product feasibility and development cycle not organized in the most efficient order - many disparate decisions drive excessive rework in peer departments because of the wrong order of decision events. Reward innovation and cost avoidance over cowboys that can save the program - keep in mind that avoiding launch chaos is superior to reacting effectively to a crisis.

Current Employee – been working at Chrysler as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – I have the opportunity to work on the new telematics program, for the company, which I have enjoyed, because I enjoy working with cutting-edge technology.

Cons – The immediate organization I'm employed in (not speaking for all organizations within Chrysler, as a whole), is not able to conduct itself with integrity, when developing and launching new products. They treat employees with the same consideration and, as a result, I have witnessed very high turnover rates and extremely frustrated/ demoralized employees that have lost drive/ motivation to work hard for the company or the program. When good/ talented individuals receive offers from competitors and other employers, there is no effort made to retain them, leaving significant gaps and loss of knowledge/ expertise those individuals had. There is little appreciation of work or efforts to accomplish goals, pay is under-par from what other employers offer for the same job title, and there is almost no opportunity for career growth or advancement.

Advice to Senior Management – Change your focus to maintaining integrity, and valuing/ building up your workforce. They are your greatest resource that will mean the difference between, really bringing this company back to greatness, or ultimately destroying your recovery and heading into Bankruptcy # 3.
