Navistar, Inc. Employer Reviews

Scrambling for parts from other vechile's because parts didn't arrive on time. The importance of being a competive company. Management was like family. Co-workers were fun to work with. Hardest part was saying good bye because of plant closure. The people I met.

This was a very exciting job, although they did away with orderlys. The different job tasks were always exciting.

The people for the most part are great and very hard-working. Some of the best and most knowledgeable people in the automotive/vehicle industry are here. The upper management (some Directors, VP's and up) are completely out of touch with what is important to most people. Most decisions from above don't make sense and are not aligned to a common vision. – more...  Promotion from within only if you're in the right circle, not based on merit. On plus side, overall compensation is good and have had profit sharing every year. – less

Set the bus on the frame, weld in the boe spacers, weld on the drip rail, jump down, clamp it up, tack it, beat the floor until the gap closes, then I put 18 welds across the back. Then I go to the next bus.

The most enjoyable part of my job is 5 o'clock.. haha. – less

At any large corporation, it is a challenge to navigate all the departments and groups involved in accomplishing simple tasks.
