Pros

Very flexible and friendly company. Management team in the Warranty Customer Care Department was great to work with, as well as my fellow co-workers. Company had great wages with a nice benefit package.

Cons

Sometimes a lack of communication between the management team and the Warranty Customer Care Reps caused problems with policies or procedures not being followed out correctly.

Pros

Nothing- an ultimately terrible experience working for a company / plant who strives to deteriorate employee satisfaction.

Cons

High attrition for employees who are trained. Delivered error-ridden results of employee feedback directly to employees themselves. Consistent threat of termination to loyal employees on a regular basis for trivial infractions.Timed bathroom breaks of employees and fired employees whom "took too long" while using the bathroom. Not veteran friendly. Leadership skylines and insults employees behind their backs during manager meetings. Little to no value placed on employee's dedication, efforts, sincerity, and time. Salaried managers forced to work 80 hour weeks; paid for 40- no overtime. GM has a Nepolian complex. No continuity.

Cons

Company decides when or if to give bonuses. No control over own destiny. Company retirement held hostage as the company stock continues to decline. Current management has little concern for employees. ONEX has cleaned house destroying previous company values and culture Operationally driven company
