Hyundai Motor America Reviews

Pros

Working with some of the best and most talented people. A real team spirit. Well treated and good benefits.

Cons

Like most companies with HQ on the other side of the world, communication can be slow and sometimes the message is lost in translation.

Pros

Good on site gym, company car lease, good benefits, good location

Cons

The rules don’t apply for all. Those who are liked get away with a lot more. Exceptions, raises, promotions. Hardly anymore goes from non management to management. You see management get promoted all the time. Then they hire from outside to fill the old management positions. Either people say forever or leave within a few years. Departments don’t get along at all. Morale is department based. Some people have it great while others hate their job. The Korean/American dynamic is the root cause of the double standardized. Also the heavy subcontractor usage creates an awkward dynamic within teams. People doing the same things but not getting the same benefits and probably pay. Also, the imputed income tax on the lease is real shady. Paying tax on a vehicle I legally don’t own?

Pros

Working from home for now until they decide it’s safe enough upon their subjective opinion

Cons

Let me begin by stating that they warned me before I started. They say “don’t take anything personally.” But put up with toxic behavior. Basically they can say “you’re stupid and don’t get anything - but don’t take it personally” one person, she said to me “ i’m a professional so I don’t have any time to be polite”. Another manager was trying to poorly explain a simple time sheet to me and since we were remote, there was a learning curve. And when he asked if I know excel I said yes I do and he said to me “well I’m telling you you know nothing about excel”. I have evidence of this mistreatment and verbal abuse except they have my address and I’m afraid that they may harm me. I walked away and didn’t complain to higher management because my main manager seems unhinged. I also had personal family matters that one manager shared with the entire team without my permission. Incredibly unprofessional for such a global brand. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been at the company for 20 years, maybe think about why you have to keep refilling my position. The day I stopped working there was the happiest day for me.

Pros

Incredible benefits; Good pay; Bonus opportunities; Great and nice people at the working level and some execs; Quality products; Nice office; You will learn a lot

Cons

Impossible and continually changing expectations from management; Micromanaging leadership has created a culture of fear; Endless pointless and inefficient meetings that are up to 8 hours long; New leaders are brought in all the time but working-level people have teams that are too small; Expectations are always unclear and you have to redo work constantly; Old-school automotive sales driven good ole boy mentality; Even senior level managers do menial busy work often, so you cannot grow and develop. If you are someone who wants to actually achieve something and be in a transparent, collaborative work envrionment, look elsewhere.

Pros

Best Company I've had the pleasure of working for.

Cons

Living in one place and having to travel several hundred miles to the District either by driving or flying.

Pros

Certain teams are great and work collaborative with each other. Benefits are nice and the work life balance is really hard to give up.

Cons

Promotions are far and few in between, management are completely oblivious to their team day to day yet expect everyone to meet objectives that are beyond the resources provided. Management use "promotion" as a way to get more work out of their people but never follow through, and there's always some excuses. Nothing is provided on merit, hiring is always from outside and internal candidates are often bypassed with little explanation. They don't promote from within, so there's no point in staying and waiting it out. You will have to write your own promotion justification and try to beg your case to be promoted. Some people have been there for 30+ years and never made it to Director. All the VPs are from the outside hire, no internal candidates have been made VP. Younger employees typically leave within 2-3 years. No cross functional training provided and the new CEO keeps hiring his friends into random newly created positions and pushing out long term people. The current longest serving VP is less than 4 years in, that's gotta tell you something. If you want to get anywhere you have to be a "Yes Man" and play politics. The Purchasing dept controls everything in the company. HR personnel are the most useless group of people and are hindrance to everything that needs to be done. They hold up the simplest process and never answer their emails when an employee actually need some sort of answer from them. The only way an employee can get a complaint heard is through suing the company. No point in talking to HR because there will be no help or support provided. Genesis dept is a joke and is imploding, take a look at your CEO and the people he chooses to hire because he's getting some side benefits from them.

Pros

The pay is decent, not great when comparing to other Auto makers but In Monntgomery, it's one of the higher paying jobs.

Cons

Long hours. In some departments it's 8 hours a day, 5 days a week but lately some depts. have mandated 10 hours days and sometimes 6 days. This year some have even worked 7 days straight.
