Pros

Co-worker are willing to help. Thing were great when Joe was CEO. Good first job. I would recommend staying for 2-3 years, then move on. Good co-op program.

Cons

Took away 1 week of personal time, took away hybrid work, took away half day Fridays in the summer ( tou basically worked 9 hiurs M-Th then took Friday afternoons, took away yearly recognition program. Raises are non existent Managers are not leaders, they are bullies Recent down sizing at corporate, moving jobs to Mexico. However the people they kept were H1B visa holders, Will hire someone and give them H1B visa instead of promoting within of a US citizen. For a company that makes brakes for school busses, quality is no longer the focus, it is the all mighty dollar/euro. - read that again. Quality does not matter. Do not expect that loyalty to the company will get you anything. The people who were let go have many years of service. Piotr, CEO, is Knorr Bremse’s puppet. He does not interact with the people with boots on the ground, except for being in pictures. HR does not follow up on complaints about managers and they do not care about employees They do not use lessons learned to make improvements to the process. Skill sets of employees are not used and are frequently discouraged.

On a serious decline

Pros

Decent benefits Above average pay Very Good PTO Excellent co-workers

Cons

Current CEO (not Mike Hawthorne) is making very questionable decisions about manufacturing locations. Doesn't seem rooted in sound business decisions. Parent company is German and has taken over most of the decision making for the product teams. Everything is about short term profits, leadership is non-existent, especially at the plant level. Promotions are available to an extent, then very hard to breakthrough to management.
