Pros

Honestly, nothing good comes from here

Cons

GM didn't process my paperwork in a timely manner, leaving me 3 weeks before getting paid. Horrible work culture. Everyone cussing each other out, throwing things at each other, and yelling across the kitchen at the drive through and counter cashiers.
