Retirement benefits are good as permanent employee

Good Money, Tough Culture

Pros

Volkswagen pays very well and the bonus is pretty awesome. My management is very good, but is the rarity within the organization. Volkswagen offers many training and development opportunities.

Cons

The culture is very hierarchal and the management does not plan strategically at all. We have foreign managers in every two to three years, so there is no consistency or organizational investment. They are usually out for themselves and their next promotion. Also, the morale is poor because our hourly employees work a ton of overtime. Also, it is a bus driver environment, where folks will run you over and back the bus up.

Pros

Great people, amazing products and great dealer network. Management says they care and listen and want you to succeed in your career and in your position Have lots of great events to attend Town hall meetings are good for understanding the bigger picture

Cons

Lots of 'boys clubs' in the organization Much of the review process is smoke and mirrors and nothing ever comes out of it Lost much of the personal touches when company was smaller Bonus calculations are a big mystery Many of the office staff don't understand view of the dealers and think that corporate is always right
