      GE bought out Dresser Valves. Two years later closed the plant and moved it. Fifty + years of Safety Valves gone.

      Not your father's GE

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      back in the day when Jack Welch was at the helm, GE was run like a well oiled machine. The stock split, GE was good. GE was diversified and the pension was funded.

      Cons

      Things changed when Jeff Immelt came and took charge and totally screwed up GE, he did not do what was best for the company, nor did the board of directors. They kept the problem going on for over 16 years. Replacing Immelt and not giving John Flannery enough time to fix a 16 year mess was wrong. There is still a good ole boys network and not enough women are promoted. GE talks diversity but their actions don't always show that. Obviously the executives don't lead by example, they still spend money and cut everyone else from spending. It should be across the board. Expect to always worry about layoffs and to keep getting more and more work assigned to you as more people are cut.

      Pros

      Good Benefits, and ability to transfer positions almost anywhere in the United States

      Cons

      I’ve held 3 positions with GE and all have been positions at newly acquired business. This means implementing a new culture, business structure, processes, and can be chaotic
