Pros

Filled with many smart, hard-working and friendly employees who truly want the company to thrive. Challenging times bring interesting work. Some of (the old) managment still in place know how to run the ship and keep their eye on what's important and willing to stand up for what's right.

Cons

Continuous senior management shifts and business focus on what "the boss" wants to do rather than what's right for the long-term growth opportunities of the company. It's a who-you-know rather than what-you-know environment at the moment. Culture has shifted and employees need to shift with the new Chaos environment or leave.

Pros

GMAC has managed to attain banking status. This may position it to survive in the auto finance world going forward.

Cons

The new management has brought in over 100 former employees of Bank of America and is in the process of migrating the corporate headquarters to Charlotte, NC. Legacy GMAC employees feel like their experience which formerly was an asset is now a liability. There is very little respect by the new management and employees for those who actually know how GMAC's business should work. The new employees seem to be set loose to create their own jobs which frequently overlap or conflict with the jobs of others. There is no clearly articulated strategy of GMAC is going to thrive in the future. As of October 2009, morale (at least in Detroit) was miserable.
