Pros

I cant think of one. Every thing you would think would be a pro, large company and ample job opportunities, doesn't exist.

Cons

They treat you as a number and that no matter what you are replaceable. They don't care about the customers at all let alone employees. No training available due to "lack of funds". Every year somebody has to be unsatisfactory and somebody has to lose out even if they were recommended for promotion. Management rotates so much that I had 6 district managers in 4 years.

Pros

.GE invests heavily in people development. There is also a focus on common values. As a result The people at GE are top notch, hard working, down to earth people that you want to be on a team with. The career opportunities are also huge and endless.. It's actually possible to move too fast at this company,

Cons

Navigating the great bureaucracy. Sometimes feels like we produce nothing but excel and PowerPoint pitches. It takes a lot of stakeholder management and working across and up the matrix to get anything done. In the midst of a pretty significant drive to change to a more entrepreneurial culture. An ambitious and worthy goal but a long way to go.
