Pros

Vast knowledge due to numerous equipment of different configurations. Challenging based on multiple car builders and preferences. Flex timings. Competitive benefits. Multi tasking allows gain of knowledge at different positions.

Cons

Low pay. Ample vacations but cannot take several days at once. No sick pays or makeups are mandatory even for salaried professionals. Micro management and younger engineers given leadership roles over senior engineers. No room for advancement.

Pros

Very interesting work, market competitive for a non-union shop

Cons

No training structure, learn by doing, which depends on who you work with. Lack of drive from coworkers to finish projects. Definitely going through a transition period, but new shop manager has better vision for future.
