Will never again be what it once was

Pros

the people - the hardworking people are the heart and soul of this company. compared to other places, the insurance benefits were actually quite good! the pay, but only if you are in a management position

Cons

Everything. Before MPC was acquired by Novares, it was a true family company. After it was purchased....that's the story everyone is now living. Granted, MPC would not have survived the pandemic, so being part of a larger corporation saved several jobs. However, you have to ask yourself at what price. We worked people to the bone and then turned around and laid them off when it better suited our needs. If you made too much money, we would find a way to eliminate your position. We would sit around and have daily meetings on which suppliers we would pay this week and which ones we wouldn't. We stopped paying the phone bill and the phone service was cut off. We stopped paying Waste Management and the garbage piled up outside the dumpster until the neighbors complained. We laid people off and then stop paying their insurance premiums. I could go on and on, but why? Just know this company talks a good game, but at the end of day they only care about lining the pockets of the executive team.

Corporate takeover and free popcorn

Pros

Safety is important on the floor. Free popcorn on fridays. Stable job with decent pay and benefits. Long breaks for the holidays for automotive shutdowns. Hard working, honest people on the floor. Some really good and kind people sprinkled in here. Learned a lot from this job about automotive and life.

Cons

A lot of the male bosses look down on females. The engineers disrespect and talk down to workers. They have had a lot of people quit because of it. President of the company disrespected a woman and told her to get on her knees and beg for her job back because she wasn't worth the pay. Corporate does not care about its employees.
