Working at Lear in Southfield, MI: 18 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Southfield, MI Area

"Great company, but can tend to be very lean and make employees overworked."

"Great company to work for, you can move upward based in your results. There is great mobility, with the right credentials you can work as an expatriate. You can develop systems in Lear. I used to think of Lear as a second rate company, but it has evolved to became one of the main players as automotive supplier."

"Overall a good employer providing a fair wage for a fair day's work. Good points were Lear's generosity with paid time off and their matching 401K program. The downside was their refusal to allow my wife to participate in their group medical insurance plan. Lear's excuse? We have a private certificate of domestic partnership as opposed to their required public marriage certificate. Though illegal to discriminate between the two under state laws, Lear claimed exemption by virtue of a federal ERISA program and not having any federal contracts."
