Pros

Top management is impressive. However, once you move into middle managment, things get weak.

Cons

Middle management lacks leaders. Top managment is sharp and impressive. But move down into the middle layers and things are weak, if not good. Lock set promotions contribute to this weakness. GMI has many "training/development" programs, i.e. OMA, EDP, etc. These folks are preferred vs. others that have more education and more diverse work experience. Its a very insular company. Ideas from outside of GMI are not implemented very well.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
