This company is going downhill.

Pros

Most of the 'pros' no longer apply. New hires don't get any pension which was probably the best benefit this company used to offer.

Cons

GE is too focused on Career/Professional Development that has very little to do with the actual job functions of most field technicians. Immediate supervisors have minimal knowledge of job requirements. The HR department at GE is totally non-responsive! Phone messages are ignored. E-mail is never acknowledged. This was once a great company, but not anymore! Take your skills elsewhere!

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay for the area. Good benefits: plenty of vacation days, personal days, sick days. Gym membership reimbursement. Free ebook library. $6k or more for tuition reimbursement per year. Decent healthcare coverage. Transportation business is in great shape and GE, in general, is placing more and more emphasis on the software engineering group.

Cons

It can always be a challenge to stand out in a big company, but if you promote yourself you can get ahead. It is always proportional to the effort you put in.
