Pros

It used to be great. Hard to think of any pros now. But before, it was amazing under AV.

Cons

They lost any ounce of soul and human decency. You are just a number now. Literally my manager knew my employee number. They almost make you feel like you are worthless, always failing, and don't think about going somewhere else, because you kind of suck. Knit picking everything. Even though I was a top performer for several years in a row. Corp change, with new President who brought her friends in... no auto experience. It went from bad to worse. More pressure, more layoffs... they have to pay her friends somehow. The weird thing here is, they let sales go, but kept bad middle management. I quit and got a new job elsewhere. It's ok to leave. You are valued elsewhere. I promise! Good news is, how bad they are there, makes you want to work hard for your new place because everywhere and anywhere else is so much better!
