Pros
Work-life balance is not only dependent on individual Managers but is encouraged institutionally. Sounds rhetorical these days, where Management says one thing and really means another but at GMF most of what I have encountered so far is refreshingly genuine. Pay is above market for many workgroups. I also think it’s fair across the breadth of the organization. Employee-centric approach to changes they're implementing, and there are many changes to come. Generous bonus structure. GMF is not your run off the mill "Best Places to Work" type of company, but what we have here works great for everyone along for the ride. People show mutual respect, are aware of practicalities of this phase where we're trying to bring efficiencies to existing roles/processes etc. It's not a dog eat dog world, Management has a very good grip of the ground realities, and has a pragmatic strategy, again, may not be the one that the Big 4 or strategy firms such as McKinsey may recommend, but something that really works well with the employees and the overall culture. GM is heavily invested and this relationship has nothing but good things to offer to the employees.
Cons
There are some frustrations, but nothing that can't be overcome. Afterall, you got to have some abnormalities to make the normal stand out.
