Pros

Great pay and benefits compared to other companies for co-op, company takes care of its employees well. Was given much responsibility within the position and was rewarded with a pay raise half way through my rotation.

Cons

Company can be very demanding to work for at times, which makes it especially hard if you are working in a division that is a dieing business.

Pros

great people and a great environment; it was refreshing to be surrounded by peers who seemed to be "at the top of their game"

Cons

the environment at GE is very cutthroat - either you get it or you don't; sometimes management wasn't as understanding about the personal life-work balance, however, this varied with the manager you were assigned to work under

Pros

Historically- Very sound leadership in middle & upper management positions. The opportunity to enroll in leadership coursework that is unsurpassed in American Business. Quality products with a loyal customer base in multiple markets.

Cons

Headquarters for Energy in Atlanta has become oversensitive to promoting women, increasing minority headcount and generally ultra focused on cultural diversity. It is actually difficult to find people working there that know what energy business products and services we provide. Those without 10+ years seem to be in a world of their own and more concerned with social & business networking than serving our customers and working past 5 PM.
