Simple Job
Assembly Line Worker (Former Employee), Lake Orion, MI – May 16, 2013
Pros: union, breaks, simple work, co-workers
Cons: lowered pay, benifits, and no pension for new employees.
Some jobs are easier than others, but it's nice only being responsible for your job. Management is fine if you are there to work. Great co-workers.

rEVIEW HAS BEEN WRITTEN
Auditor (Former Employee), Clinton, MS – May 9, 2013
A typical day for me was just what i made it. I never liked to come in running for the clock. Thats makes for head on Stress. When you know your job you can set your pace. One of the most important things that i learned was that i am a people person. Working in plant , with different people, all who have varied personalities , and different values . – more... Learning to work as a Team was very important. If by chance you don't like (whoever) they don't have to go home with you. But if you have to communicate concerning your job ----GROW_UP---You are here to make a life. Management is necessary, every one needs a job. I have great respect for those in position, who do what they have to do . Having said that, fairness- and honesty is essential. They should be treated with the same repect that they project. My co-workers and i grew up together---- we had our babies together----we went through the good --the bad--and the ugly.We now have lunch once a month, sometimes its s many as 30 people. Its a good feeling. I believe in working smart----Learn what you are doing-----You will enjoy coming to work----and feel good when you go home. – less

Good atmosphere
Clerical Support (Former Employee), IL – April 28, 2013
typical day, is doing what needs to get the job done
I've learned, you must follow the rules
Management, are the people in control
Co-workers, come with different personalities
The hardest part is dealing with people thinking their superior, rather than, we are equal, but different
The most enjoyable, is at the end of the day, the work is done, and – more... you've met good people, with the same goals – less

Growing and strong business direction. Multiple IT Management changes with limited support to the real business drivers
Chief Architect (Current Employee), Detroit MI – April 25, 2013
GM Business is strong and growing, with the growth the IT management has not been stable and with the new management from an IT business the focus is not supporting the business values or goals.

Packaging Engineer -Parts Division
Senior Packaging Engineer (Former Employee), Grand Blanc, Michigan – April 17, 2013
Cons: management
Laid off half of the group to rehire at a contract company for half the pay and benefits. After that, treated us as if we should be grateful. Then hired people back but took them from the street before they took them from the contract company. Just before they did all of this I had my first bad review in 10 years, go figure.
