Pros

GMAC requires no experience for exceptional cantidate references They will put you through school internally to help you succeed at their company.

Cons

Their computers are very slow. You have to arrive at least 15 minutes early to turn the computer on... so the program can load and you can clock in. The company uses no punch card time clocks. The company only uses a program that you must pull up and enter your employee id number and hit enter and you are clocked in. The thing is, when the computer is slow loading , and even though you were early, I used to get in trouble, "called in the office and talked to" when it showed on the program that I was late. They dont acknowledge their slow computers, and the fact that everyone arrives early just to try to get the program up in time to sign in...

Pros

You get a bi-weekly paycheck.

Cons

The culture has tanked under new leadership over the last couple of years. It’s cutthroat, senior management keeps swapping out experienced leaders for their own people, same values, same bottom line only mindset. No one actually knows what they’re doing because everyone’s expected to do everything and own the fallout when it doesn’t work. Decisions get micromanaged or made behind closed doors about your own team, with no input. There’s constant pressure to cut expenses, and the target seems to double every month, at this rate it feels like the end is inevitable. Layoffs happen a few times a year now, two years running, and leadership straight up tells you it’s the new norm, so get used to it. Everyone knows it, everyone talks about it, and everyone’s living in fear. On top of that, you’re expected to work 12 hour days and answer emails on weekends, then get told you’re still not doing enough. It’s demoralizing. This is an awful place to work, and with the job market this bad, people can’t leave even though everyone’s looking. Feels like a sinking ship, and they deserve it for how they treat people.
