      Money upside, no personal life downside

      Pros

      The money-earning potential is pretty good especially if the economy turns around and GM produces more fuel efficient cars. If the Chevy Volt is a hit then Chevrolet Sales will be a good place to work. But if the Chevy Volt is junk, then it will be awhile for this job to be worth the time and aggravation that it takes to be successful.

      Cons

      Working weekends and holidays are the worst. Customers are also a hassle sometimes. They will come in with unreasonable demands and offers that they believe are fair. So many customers do not have clue. My patience was stretched to the limit many times.

      Rick continues to look for ways to restructure and grow in a globally brutal automotive industry.

      Pros

      Exciting new products in multiple markets around the world, which include emerging automotive technology (like the Volt extended range electric vehicle, which runs on batteries, but has a small, fuel efficient 3 cylinder engine to back it up and recarge the batteries if you get too far from your normal charging point); competitive pay and benefits; great discounts on cars and trucks; an opportunity to work globally--there is explosive growth overseas in eastern Europe, Russia, India, and China.

      Cons

      Sometimes long hours; fluctuation in the markets can impact resources for accomplishing your mission, and also impact amount and timing of compensation programs.

      Unless you are starving, look elsewhere.

      Pros

      The General typically starts you out at a higher salary, looks good on a resume and you can learn a lot if you ask a lot of questions.

      Cons

      General Motors expects you to be available 24/7. Salary employees can be walking out the door and they will get stopped and told to work OT, no matter what. A fellow engineer was fired for going on his honeymoon, after he had a signed vacation slip from his boss a year earlier. I left General Motors after five years and realized I forgot how nice life can be.
