The boss made me do things I did not like to do
Everyone is just pretending to be productive to catch a paycheck

Better interaction between employees and management
Not sure. I would have to think on this.
My team works together great

One team and even if half of the members are onsite

Better balance between work and home life
Senior leadership needs to address the functions issues and know its not going away, just the good people are and therefore step in and have an intervention.Ask the non leads how it is and whats been happening.
Help the people get promoted
Dollow their own polocies/ statements
What did you like most about the interview process?
Knowledgeable interviewers, after initial phone and chat
Very laid back and very though
Interviewing with multiple people in separate sessions made the interview personal. I have done interviews infront of a panel which does not feel personal.
It was too long ago to remember but back then I'd say being a 3rd generation auto worker may have had an advantage.
Meeting all the big people before i get on the floor
Review from Product Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Roles should be aligned with the job description.
Review from Product Dept
Get away from outside venders screening candidates.
To meet the people you want to hire
It was a joke now that I look back on it. They told me everything I wanted to hear. I fell for it hook line and sinker, I was young and had a new family to take care of. I don't think they are capable of improving they need to be truthful.
Review from Engineering Dept
Clarity about the career or position
What makes you most happy at work?
Most coworkers are fun to work with
Reconitiion of good work by collegues
When machines run right and people do what they are supposed to makes my job easy
Being able to make positive impact with relations involving the field, dealers, and customers.
My current job is relaxed but it took many years to get here, but it does gets fast paced if everything is happening at once.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The only leadership that gets hired are people that can be easily motivated to lie cheat and use people to benefit their own careers.

Review from HR Dept
even though they ask for feedback, they basically ignore what you say

Corporate greed and outsourcing to mexico
