Bowling Green employees?
Anyone work or ever work at the assembly plant? Just wondered what that is like? I would think putting Corvettes together would be a pretty cool job...at least better than assembling some other makes and models...
...or at the end of the day is it just any other job?
(By the way, I'm in the process of working on a career change hence the off the wall question)

Wow! I knew sales were down but didn't realize the numbers. I guess it would be the grass is greener but still looks like it could be fun. I had tickets for a tour last year then they shut down for some re-tooling so hopefully can get there maybe next year?
If anyone has toured the BMW factory in SC its pretty cool too and they are expanding so the tour could get even better I suppose?

Over time it would probably be looked upon as just another job by many, but I sure would have liked to have had the opportunity to work there.

We met many of the workers during a long tour awhile back. All we met were very friendly, informative, and helpful. I am sure they get a lot of visitors and millions of questions over the years.

Saw the same thing when I toured the plant in September. Lots of happy workers. If they look happy then it's probably a good place to work.
