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 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.

The company itself is good, some buildings just have managers who promote family or just plain play favoritism and plays a power game on who gets direct hired and who gets overtime when its scarce. Even comes down to who gets raises, some people took out garbage all day that was it for 19 an hour. 3 dollars more than the guys building the test vehicles which is ie:40% of what makes the money other 60% is instrumentation. Some department managers will give direction that is in opposition of correct mechanical procedure due to lack of knowledge. Sometimes they do promote the well rounded experienced technicians and whether they stay which is doubtful. Many good technicians have to walk out the door due to a. "mandatory overtime" when they cant handle it due to children or some extenuating circumstance.  b. not nearly enough raises, team leaders are told to rank people lower. I busted my butt on that job especially doing F750 dually wheels putting on a taking off for 10-12 hours which I enjoyed because thats my forte. Regardless I put in hard work for them and they gave me seldom raises based on attendance. Over 5 years I only got 2 dollars, they hold a grudge if you miss days sometimes as well and won't give you overtime. I have had issues finding a car I can afford to keep on the road since I lost my last reliable one. So it wasn't like I could make it up unless roush were desperate for people to work ot which did happen only in summertime.  Winter good luck getting by.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Although there were plenty problems in the system, the best part of working here was the opportunity to work on prototype vehicles.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not having a strong foundation to rely on. In other words, your supervisors and leaders do the bare minimum to guide you in the right direction. As a person working there for 4 months, I had to let new hires know WHAT this job actually does and guide them out of respect for them.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment and culture is very poor. The qualities of upper management are not strong. There were some people who are willing to help but few in numbers. It truly lead to a point where I lost my smile because I was surrounded by negative people and no guidance.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Clock in (the clock in system time is shifted ahead 2 minutes when you clock in and shifts back 2 when you clock out???) And speak to your leader for what your task is. If there was a task, I had nothing but questions because nobody trained me properly and I eventually learned on my own. If there wasn't a task, the attitude of the leader was disrespectful and I was left wandering finding work to do. And then I was warned to stop wandering and stay busy??

My review is that I worked for the company in livonia and it was not organize the bosses were messing with the the employee my boss was messing  with a young lady there and she was getting special privileges and it not fair I worked for the company for a month and half and never miss work always did a good job then I started seeing things going my supervisor was sleeping on the job I woke him up and he got mad at me and my big Boss was spending his time with the young lady on her lunch break which she was aloud two take a two hour lunch and nobody saw nothing wrong with that but I get laid off for now reason but there still working and has miss days of work and feel that not fair I believe that the bosses should be replaced because there abusing there power and it was personal why they laid me off because what going happen is one of the young ladies going to get mad and file a against the company and it would be a easy one because there are witnesses that our scared to say something now but when it gets to them and they get laid off it will come out more just giving a head up on what going on at 28200 plymount at roush industries I can be emailed back if have any questions there more with this and other people know if you take them to the side they will tell you the same thing I'm telling you talk to you soon Mr roush.this is the truth is can post pictures

 As a driver I had a lot of fun with the other drivers taking routes through the mountains out into the plains, spending 8 to 10 hours doing whatever I wanted in the car, listening to music, audiobooks, podcasts, documentaries, but the starting pay was as minimal as could be with no room for full time, benefits, or overtime. That was fine, it was a side job for extra steady income. But the people who work all the administrative and coordination in the offices are power hungry, self-righteous and judgmental. They breed a very toxic work environment because they expect, with the poor pay, no benefits and no full-time, they're going to get a bunch of model employees. All they do is sit in the office and talk horribly about the drivers and make it very uncomfortable to work there. They pick obvious favorites and ridicule everyone else. When the vehicle coordinators get stressed out they take it out on the drivers and blame them for everything. I would recommend this job to anyone looking for 2 or 3 easy part time shifts a week to bring in an extra income as a driver as long as you stick to your own and keep yourself out of the coordinators sights, good or bad. Just go be average and they'll leave you alone. 

Your not guaranteed a job though they say you will be hired after 90 days, people been here for years without a permanent position. The management will use you for anything they can just as long as they are not yelled at by supervisors but not take up for you when you ask about a full time job. Management talks behind your back and constantly on a daily basis will treat you bad(not what I really wanted to say) in most departments, a bunch of people are snitches to supervisors and they give the overtime to people who they play favortism towards. People have relations with all the women they can in the company and their mouths run like a faucet. People sleep on the job and in vehicles on different shifts and everything that's done wrong has to be fixed by first shift. Management thinks they can talk to you any kind of way and you have to deal with it. They ask you when your punching out if you want to work overtime, and force made up rules and lies on you to get their way. Stay Far Far away from this place unless you want to deal with people having affairs or get harrased on a daily basis and when you bring it to HR your gonna get Fired so seriously not worth the effort at all.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The HR Department is a joke, its a buddy bud system so if the person you are filing the complaint about is an established employee, it goes on deaf ears. No loyalty or support for employees, if your site closes they will hide it and wait to the very end to let you know.  This company likes to talk about Free thinking and being outspoken, about new ideas....

Don't do it! As soon as you do it, your idea will be snaked and your supervisor will take credit for it. Same goes for a suggestion on a project, you will get pulled aside and reprimanded for not letting your supervisor know first and letting them suggest the idea.  

Do your self a Favor "DONT WORK HERE YOU DESERVE A PLACE THAT RESPECTS YOU, AND SUPPORTS YOUR CREATIVITY! NOT A PLACE WHERE YOU EXPECTED TO BE A PUPPET".

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of support from supervisors and Human resources 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
TOXIC! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND BACKWARDS THINKING

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Doing what my supervisors asked and keeping my projects in order.

This place is not a long term option, even part time,  I wish they had been more honest about the position. They put you on the schedule, have you come in at 4AM, then send you home if there aren’t any cars left. The Wheatridge co location was very cliquey. Once you run out of hours, they WILL phase you out.  It’s not the smartest job, you drive cars, then evaluate them, simple enough, but  many of the longterm fools that have no drive to do anything that requires a challenge are dramatic. The emotional quotient of some of the members is negligible.  I encountered one individual told the staff that she had cancer, but let me know she only did that to gain sympathy and more hours 🤦🏽‍♀️ All in all, I drove fun cars, fast cars (Demon, self driving cadillacs, etc.), but right around the time that I ran out of hours, I knew I needed more, and something of more substance.

Started working at Roush as a mechanic and retired as a design engineer. Job diversity was excellent. A lot of different job assignments which gave me on the job training in many different aspects of automotive manufacturing, testing, racing and product design. Also worked on alternative fuels projects building Propane fuel driven trucks. Transitioning from one project to the next could be challenging. But working in a teamwork atmosphere with mentoring from senior team members, provided an excellent opportunity to advance to even more exciting project opportunities. The most enjoyable projects were vehicle testing. Driving Mustangs out west for hot weather testing was very rewarding. 300 drag starts (burn-outs) for Mustang clutch testing, and racing on the drag strip at Milan Raceway are jobs you couldn't get any where else.

Work involves solo driving assigned routes for 8-10 hours (day and evening shifts), testing and recording information about the vehicles driven. The vehicle and/or route one drives typically changes on any given day.
Direct management is always helpful as far as they can be, and attitudes are always positive, though communication with upper management seemed a bit touch and go at times. This mostly stemmed from how the job works, however, and Covid didn't help with quality communication and training opportunities.
Sometimes there aren't enough vehicles for drivers, so one won't work that day with little to no notice. Weather can also be a factor to chop one's already limited hours.
I very much enjoyed driving new and different vehicles (cars, trucks, vans, EVs, etc.), and noting the quirks and features each had. Routes were well thought out, and being in Colorado, there's beauty while one works!
When there are enough vehicles to work, the job is great, especially if one enjoys working on their own.
