Pros
Starting pay $16.50 after 3 years top out around 22
Great benefits and insuranceCons
Work 6 days every 2/3 weeks (6, 6, 5, 6, 6, 5, etc.)
LOT'S of OT - low seniority workers WILL get mandated 4 hours early or over regularly.
(These 2 will be pros if you want the hours and as much money as possible, but gets old fast - especially if you have a life outside of work to maintain)
TERRIBLE management - I have been here 5 years and have seen a steady decline in the coorporation. Running out of parts its a regular occurance. Inconcistancy and favortism is a big issue. The company recently hired ~150 new workers and there is next to no discipline so there is a lot of poor workmanship, little team work, and a lot of drama and arguments. Not the place for the easily stressed.Advice to Management
Listen to your employees and not just your favorites
Fix the ordering issues and actually hold yourself accountable
Fire the second shift superintendent!!! I don't know why anybody though promoting her was a good idea, not only once but twice. Actually maybe fire who promoted her also, because they obviously are incompetent as well.
Start working 48-60 hours a week like you make us do to fix your mistakes
Hold employees accountable. There are a lot of bad workers and many that stopped caring when you stopped disciplining people. If people won't care about the product, they need to be firedLear Corporation 2019-02-12 03:12 PST![Lear Corporation Logo]()

Pros
I did what I enjoyed doing and I did it well. Management saw that and increased my responsibilities and compensation. Definity got back what I put in. Everyone should have this attitude if you don't then find a job that will excite you.
Cons
I don't have any cons, as far as complaints, well, none there either.
Advice to Management
I can give any advice to management, I learned from Lear's management.
