Pros

Job security. Still a good name to have in your resume

Cons

• Little or no training except for a very few selected ones • Cheap, cheap. Poor performance has put pressure on everything including travel, and training • Jack Welch’s GE is gone. Layers and layers of bureaucracy have been created with mediocre and unprepared Managers. • The employee evaluation system is outdated • Metrics and useless processes are a waste of time and money and become extremely frustrating for an employee that really wants to get his job done • High turnover, especially young employees • Bad healthcare benefits • Terrible computer/IT resources • Politics and backstabbing culture
