Pros

It's a job. That;s about all.

Cons

The tl's do nothing all day but gossip. They now have specialist to take over supervisor responsibilities which leave the supervisors doing whatever they want to do. They say(AVP'S/SVP'S) they have an open door policy but that's bull. You can go to them with concerns and nothing will change. In many cases I've seen workers get treated worse. If you have a life, kids especially, this is not a place for you. They don't work around your schedule. They play favoritism in ALL situations especially when you are trying to advance. This place is horrible and I wouldn't recommend it to a dog. People with knowledge get held back while people who walk around and do nothing all day get promoted.

Pros

Initially, the fact you're working for the financing arm of one of the largest automakers of the world is incredible. The lights are bright, the cubicles are clean and there are GM brand logos everywhere. You feel like you're a big shot. You are also paid your worth. That's a huge pro. As long as GM is doing well, you can expect to have a job.

Cons

Sure, there may be a lot of diversity in the call centers but on the corporate side, there's very little. Ironic because the diversity percentage is dramatically touted. If you're a POC, expect to be either the only one or one of a couple on your team. Also, the company has been growing rapidly but the culture hasn't been able to keep up. The morale is extremely low. Working here is similar to having a crack addiction - everyone wants to leave but the money, the high of it, is the only thing keeping them here. Your talent is welcome during your interview but when you actually start working, you're expected to maintain the status quo. Some of the leadership describes themselves as hands off but in reality, they know nothing about what's going on. You'll also run across managers and VPs who don't care anything about butts in seats. In addition, some of the leadership believes in a work life but definitely not a work-life balance. You might find that there are different rules for specialists and managers. For example, the managers and leadership team are allowed to work from home (some do it at least once a week) but if you're a specialist, don't you dare think about uttering the words work from home. You're constantly told to worry about yourself and not others. You're expected to do your work and shut up. Saying anything but what others expect you to say will have you labeled as too "aggressive" or "over emotional." The earlier review that the company is a good ol boy's club and employees being judged based on charisma rather than performance is true. Women certainly aren't valued here. Lastly, HR doesn't care about any of your complaints. They're there to protect the company, not the employees.

Pros

The pay is good with the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. They value training and will send you or bring trainers in. The people within MY group will not let anyone fail. We bring ourselves together to make sure things get done. The company is growing from the very small to the very large. There are phenomenal career

Cons

IT management understands they are pushing unrealistic deadlines on us and even though they can't stop it they understand. Anyone from the business though? They don't care. To give you an example I have worked between 55-65 work weeks for the last 10 months now putting my life on hold. The people outside of my group? ETL, Data Quality, Business Analysts? They will blame you for not meeting the deadlines that are unreachable anyway so you better bring your political "A" game on being able to deflect these arrows.
