Pros
Roush is a great opportunity and provides (i) a competitive salary, (ii) cross-functional experience, and (iii) a can-do attitude. Roush is not a place that will pay a salary much higher than the market value of an employee. I see this as a strength and am knowledgeable about the compensation levels within the company. Roush is a forward-looking company with emphasis on long-term financial sustainability. The benefits of this approach to the employee is a much higher probability of a job when the market turns south. In 2008-09, Roush was able to attain a much high percentage of employees than other players within the markets they participate in. Roush also provides cross-functional leadership due to the nature of the organizational structure. It is entrepreneurial-minded and will give you a lot of opportunities to grow as an engineer and business professional. You can easily work within engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, and other functions in a short period of time. Roush has a can-do company culture. Roush has grown (revenue growth) significantly in the past ten years and is still growing at record rates; this has been accomplished by a can-do attitude and Roush is not afraid to take on a challenging project in a new market or take on a difficult customer with high expectations. This allows the employee to work in several markets and on exciting projects. In addition, if an employee has a good idea - with a business plan to back it - the leadership team is always willing to listen to pursue the idea.
Cons
Formal Training: Roush does not provide a lot of formal training; however, if you are a person who takes initiative, understands his/her weaknesses, and identifies a training course to improve the weakness then Roush will financial support the training. Like many other aspects of the company, you will need to take the first step.
