Former Employee – worked at Honda

ProsA genuinely well-intentioned company filled with good people.

ConsSalaries are not competitive. Priorities for hiring are not in line with previous company values. Increasing reliance on contractors. Less focus on retaining core engineering talent, attracting and educating new engineering talent.

Advice to Senior ManagementRemember what made Honda successful. Well engineered product combined with good sales and aftersales support. Exciting product developed by people that care about the product.

Greensburg, IN

Current Employee – been working at Honda full-time for less than a year

ProsIt's a paycheck-average pay, but not worth the insane pace you have to keep up with. The only good reason to work here is for medical benefits.

ConsInsane pace of production line. You literally do not have the time to wipe sweat from your brow, much less get a drink of water-even when the fountain is only 10 feet away. I honestly believe, because of the speed of the line, they dont't care if you live or die. Yet some people have jobs where they spend half their time leaning on car hoods and talking. I see almost half the people on these hectic lines-who are at least 50 years old. And then, they disrupt your family life-by rotating your shift every 2 weeks.

Advice to Senior ManagementConsider the human factor.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
