Pros

The numerous changes that have happened in the last 2 years make it difficult to provide feedback on current environment. If you are willing to take a risk, it can be a positive experience. Do your homework, ask questions, and be prepared for daily changes. Those who can disengage from their work role will most likely be fine. During my tenure the perks and the people made the long hours equitable. The current leadership has changed so often I can not speak to how that impacts those working at GMAC today. Most of my contacts have been laid off or left for new roles in other organizations.

Cons

Any job has a down side. The collaborative mindset of the past has been replaced by fear and distrust. The people focused culture made the above target performance expectations tolerable. Over the last 24 moths, benefits continued to be reduced as did the “balance life focus” of the past. I was grateful for the opportunities but was not willing to be just a number

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.
