Pros

GE looks good on your resume… kind of. Starting to lose its credibility.

Cons

For Lynn Plant specifically. -Pay is far below market causing high attrition to other company’s in the area -Benefits are atrocious -Poor prioritization… whoever screams the loudest mentality -Antiquated site as a whole including buildings, facilities, and machinery. -Fire fighting is an all day everyday thing -Reactiveness is a way of life here -Leadership is delusional… they have the mentality that “GE is the greatest. Everyone wants to work here. People who leave will come back…” I’ve only seen people leave and continue to do so. Never seen anyone come back… -Technical talent on the manufacturing floor is limited. You have either new grads or rotational employees (OMLP) that don’t have a clue about manufacturing processes or basic root cause analysis. On top of that, the training isn’t there because even most “management” don’t have a clue either. This is largely due to attrition of actual talent. So now they promote the clueless OMLPs (I should know, I was in the program) because there is no one left that actually has a decent understanding of machining and manufacturing processes.
