Toxicity at its peak

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.
