Incredible colleagues overshadowed by toxic leadership culture

Pros

The people you work with, for the most part, are incredible.

Cons

Toxic work environment intentionally put into place by senior leadership that pits teammates against each other. Constant threat of being chosen to be laid off, despite excellent performance. The Board continues to turn a blind eye to the impact of these policies, caring only about the stock price. They don't seem to realize that continual layoffs and purging of knowledge and experience will impact the stock price more than anything else. Take a look at the degradation of quality, for instance. Mary Barra started off as a good leader but now is the most disingenuous leader in the big three. There was a time when General Motors was known for treating their employees with empathy, but no longer. They are all just numbers. They have been quietly eroding the good benefits that employees enjoy at GM. They gutted the prescription benefit program in 2026 for salaried employees, causing a huge increase in out-of-pocket costs.

Pros

I had a lot of nice coworkers and managers. Pay can be pretty decent.

Cons

More and more work will be placed on you as they let go everyone around you because of constant restructuring.
