Reviews about "upper management"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
1st shift and money is good
Cons
Company and upper management sux
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Work schedule flexibility. The vehicle variants offer many design and engineering challenges.
Cons
Lack of direction, no knowledge of systems engineering process or any other processes to keep the organization operational. Poor communication among so called team members. Very cliquish, individuals with very loud unprofessional behaviors get noticed the most and fit in very well with management. Upper management are not engaged at all with the bread and butter workers of the company. No opportunities for growth or enhancement in skill set either. Don't come here if you're truly looking to gain insight into the world of Defense or to gain valuable work experience.

Navistar doesn't promote loyalty, knowledge retention, or the right people.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Navistar offers a rewarding experience and unique challenges. They encourage knowledge expansion and cross-training so its great for personal growth.
Cons
They are tending toward hiring upper management who are not familiar with the industry and are considered businessmen in their own right. This creates managers who don't respect the historical talent nor their employees' experience. Navistar has become highly politicized internally therefore the best ideas and methods rarely make it. They have recently let go a sizable portion of their knowledge-base and have moved operations to a higher cost area. They will be hiring inexperienced engineers fresh out of college and relying on them more than they should. I'd be wary about any long term plans with Navistar.

Pros
Good work life balance and a really nice facility to work. The people are nice and if you seek it out the work can be fulfilling.
Cons
Continuous layoffs and there seemed to be a disconnect between upper level management and those actually carrying out the work.

- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Navistar has a solid base of great employees, but is ultimately controlled by investors.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Hard working and knowledgeable workforce. World Class headquarters with great amenities. Working to create a more robust design and development process. Top notch industrial design.
Cons
Will sacrifice workers to satisfy investors. Crowded and constantly shifting upper management roster.

Pros
They have a good cafeteria. And are located near good restaurants. I don't know. I didn't like the management, the pay didn't make the work you did often... Good work was rewarded with more work...
Cons
They will work your with unreasonable expectations. What I experienced was upper management only concerned witj themselves at the expense of the small guy

Pros

Cons
department level management can be oppressive.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Terrible leadership has all but ruined this once icon of American industry.
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Plenty of opportunity for advancement (because the experienced people are leaving in droves).
Cons
I am a current employee of over 10 years that used to absolutely LOVE my career at Navistar. Unfortunately it's now time to move on as so many already have and continue to do so. Almost all of the experienced people here have jumped ship leaving only green employees fresh out of school with no experience. Upper management continues to pick up upper level flunkies from GM (the company that was just led into bankruptcy) like they are gold. You will not be rewarded for taking on additional responsibilities - neither with appreciation nor financial incentive. Executive management continues to make decisions that is leading to employees leaving at a rate of 1.5 people per day. Current employees are required to work 2-3 jobs and most departments are running skeleton crews. RUN don't walk from this company unless you are fresh out of school or hard up for a job.

Pros
Nice location, that's about it.
Cons
Management is horrible. Top level managers have no idea how to manage people. The recent re-organization of the business has sent a clear message. Promoting incompetence and putting the yes men in place to try and keep the status quo while upper management plans their exit. Clearly shows with this recent move of people and flattening of managers to direct reports. Management says they want to coach you and build you up to be promotable, but that never happens. They promise one thing and hit you with another job but no promotion. They move your focus around but don't increase your pay. They keep the carrot dangling until one day you realize the carrot cannot be obtained and then you walk away. If you are looking to get your feet wet, this is a great company to start, but do not plan on a long term career here or you will be sorely disappointed with your choice.
