Pros

Most people are a pleasure to work with. Some are to be avoided. While many people have been with the company for a long time, it depends if you were part of a prior takeover or are an original Cooper employee..

Cons

Auto suppliers live and die on the demands and requirements of their customers. Economic times are very tough right now in 2008 and any loyalty to employees is forgotten. Everyone is on edge.

Pros

When I first started, it was an exciting and new experience.

Cons

Pay is very low, and the only way to really make money is to work as much overtime as you can. The more you work, the more they work you. The plant itself isn't well kept, and I left because I had reached my contact quota. My line was one of the lines that produced the most and was usually able to run continuously, unlike the other lines. However, this meant they worked us like dogs, and as time went on, the consideration of how much work was being put in, as well as the overall "you are replaceable" environment, caused me to walk out. When I brought up all my concerns to my supervisor, I was told that if I didn't like it, I could leave. So, I clocked out and walked out. Two days later, my line caught fire and was down for a couple of days. The same complaints I was making were still ignored. Thus, cause and effect.
