Pros

Flex work schedule Not much more to say

Cons

Pay not competitve -Incompetent lower and middle managers- too many meetings, ppt presentations, lack of respect for the regular workers. No growth opportunities for anyone with years of experience, except the "chosen" few on the fast track system, and you have to be young also. Everything now is a "Green-Belt or Black belt" project-I mean everything ! All the "Black Belts" that work here, are missing one thing-lack of experience and commen sense- When GE took over, it seems like we lost a lot of commen sense in problem solving abilities. The engineers that could solve a lot of the production problems are being replaced with lean teams lead by a black belt- "diverse groups of people"that have absolutely no knowledge of a process "they spend countless hours in meetings trying to dissect a simple problem that could be solved by one or two competent engineers. Its pathetic. But I guess it good for the egos of the "Black Belts" and it helps them reach thier quota of projects , in order to obtain thier next promotion .
