Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent company to work for (in spite of current financial problems). Good pay and benefits, excellent support with essential work equipment and excellent work environment. Neat and clean environment, very attuned to safety of employes. I would have a difficult time thinking of something negative to say about working for General Motors. They are an excellent company to work for and even though they have a huge number of employees, I always felt very close to my group. They were very cooperative and worked well as a team.

Cons

Current financial problems make for considerable state of discomfort and concern about future of the company. Newer employees will not receive as generous of benefits.

Business Outlook

Pros

Collaboration and teamwork, interesting work, a sense of family even though it is a large company

Cons

Advancement opportunities are few and far between, senior management is very slow to react to customer needs vs. being proactive and anticipating what customers will want in the future based on trends.

Pros

It's challenging being the under dog but you learn what you are made of and what your capable of doing. Once you have the GM experience it will open many other doors in your future. Don't kid yourself though, for all the problems GM has had they have some of the brightest and most talented people in the world. That would include both inside and outside the automotive industry.

Cons

Trying to live down the legacy of the years of sub par cars. Trying to make it through a tremendous automotive shake out where the playing field has not always been level.
