Default does anybody here ACTUALLY work for honda?

i went to a career fair yesterday in DC, and there were reps from gm and honda there. i don't think i made a great impression with the GM rep, but then i walked over to honda, and the rep there was really nice. she said that they only do 6 month internships (so i'd have to take off a semester if i really wanted to work there), opposed to gm's summer program.

anyway, i'm a sophmore ME student, my gpa is about a 3.0, and i live in NJ. i'm not too crazy about living so far from home, for now, but i definitely want to relocate after i graduate.

my question is, is honda a good company to work for? do they take care of their employees? do you like your job?

if anybody wants to talk to me about it, you can pm or im me (AIM: NycePants). eventually, i'd probably like to work for gm, but i'd probably work for any car company except chrysler (lol). i'm sure gm wouldn't put me on the corvette engineering team anyway...

Yeah see the thing is this guy is an engineer and he's obviously looking into careers in engineering rather than being a mechanic or salesman or car washer.
