A lot of exposure from VWSA
I enjoy working at VWSA having my own office and being treated the same as everyone else in the department is amazing daily I present to the logistics manager about how I handle all the challenges I face every day and come up with a solution, I also communicate will all VW's suppliers telephonically about the Advanced shipping notice they must create for VW if the supplier does not create the ASN I call them for a meeting to VWSA daily there are like 5 meetings a day with the suppliers and also getting involved and spending time at other department for 2 hours a day I really enjoy the meetings with the suppliers because there is a data base that I create for all the suppliers that are giving VWSA problems so to those meetings I present and I really enjoy presenting
Pros: being exposed to different departments
Cons: Not getting paid enough

Experience on building cars.
At work we spend full eight hours building cars one hundred and eighty units per shift in eight hours,it takes a hard working,determined human being to do that and I am that human being.At work you must be able to work with your coworkers because you are sharing tools,job rotating so you have to teach each other jobs.The challenges are when the tool is broken or someone damaged a part of a car no one once to take the responsibility for the damages including the supervisor.On my job I've learned that this is not the mans world because the most people who are building and always present on their jobs are females.
Pros: Opportunities for growth
Cons: Working shifts

Excellent Experience
A typical day started out on Monday morning doing the normal start up procedure with my mentors. I've learned the advantages as well as challenges working with a large group of people. Communication is the most important and useful tool when anything has to be attended to from co-ordination to co-operation, all individuals coming together as a team for a common goal of achieving a solution to a problem while maintaining the highest of quality and safety all at once. The adrenaline rush to a breakdown and the relief of a well co-ordinated and sometimes improvised plans to reach a successful solution. I enjoyed it all, everything alltogether allowed me to gain the complete experience of the Automated production line. In all, it's just a unique combined experience of various situations that made me learn something every single day. Learning and applying it was the satisfaction.
Pros: Learning and implementation
Cons: Long downtime at times

The challenges are working shifts,weekends and short time sometimes,our salaries depends on the markets how well is the product selling the competition is very high out there.
