BMW Manufacturing Corporation – “Inconsistent Management”

Pros

Car program is fantastic. Benefits have been great, but have been slashed now.

Cons

Since many manager positions are slated as German only, these are 3 year contract positions, so a lack of consistency. Every three years there is a new direction, from someone who needs time to adjust to the culture change. The way it's done in Germany doesn't work everywhere. Lack of true innovation, so if you're a trailblazer you're wasting your time.
HR is a trainwreck, which causes repercussions at all levels.

Advice to Senior Management

Shake up HR & stop rotating management every 3 years.
