Great company to work for
Electrical Engineering Intern (Former Employee), Allen Park, MI – October 9, 2012
Pros: good environment.
Cons: high turnover.
Roush was a well run organization. Most of the people were very friendly and managers were easy to talk to. Also there are many opportunities to advance your career while working with Engineers from Ford and other companies.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Fabricator (Current Employee), Allen Park – May 11, 2012
Pros: good co-workers
Cons: no breaks, low wages, and management can careless if you come or go.
Since this is the first real "review" of this company i'm going to start this off by saying If you get into a good building with good management this is a great company to work for. But if you end up in Allen Park off of Southfield Rd you're going to regret taking the job, Hence the amount of jobs listed for Allen Park compared to Livonia.

They hire – more... good people and you wont find many scumbags at this company, you wont have to worry about someone stealing from you or breaking into a tool box. The co-workers are actually the best part of the job.

That being said the company will walk all over you and keep you around with the lure of a "Review" coming up. Well.. you're never going to get that review and if you do, it will come a year or two later not after 90 days as they lead you to believe. So get the wage you want up front or keep job hunting.

You're going to be required to buy your own tools to complete jobs(Not that big of a deal) and also you'll be required to buy tools you're going to ruin making the company money, Drill bits, Broaches, ect.(Kind of a big deal) It doesn't seem like a big deal but when you just worked an hour to buy a drill bit to make the company money it gets old.

They do have what I consider a pretty decent benefits package including Insurance Health/Dental/Vision, 401k and Tuition Reimbursement.

It's a great company if you work in the offices or are coming straight out of high school other than that I would not recommend this company to a friend or family member. – less

Guy124 – July 9, 2012

I was lured into the Allen Park location by one of their "Mechanic Job Fairs." The person who wrote the above review is telling you the truth. I worked there for a year and a half, and never received the promised "REVIEW." Management is nice to you if they "like" you. I racked up a large debt on the tool trucks that come around there, because they do not provide you with any specialty tools that you must have to do the job. The co-workers are the best part about this Roush location, I have made many friends working there. 99% of the guys that work there are honest "Good People." Roush does not pay well at all, but they try to make up for it with plenty of overtime opportunities. When I started, we were on 7/10 shifts. I started at $11 an hour because I was desperate for work, even though I had 5 years mechanics experience. I felt that it was a slap in the face, but it was a job. When I found another job elsewhere, they were quick to offer me $1 an hour less than I would be making at the new job. Really? If they offer you a job, I would think twice about it. However, it does look good on your resume.....
