Pros

Pay is good. Benifits are good. Hours are good.

Cons

There is no cohesiveness between departments and areas. Working with different areas within the organization is like working with a separate company. No one is working toward the same mission. Each department has its own agenda and is not willing to work as one to resolve customer issues. No opportunity for growth. The wrong people are in place for management rolls. Feedback from overworked employees falls on deaf ears. Training is awful and doesn’t match what is one needs to know once out on the floor.

Pros

Most of the employees are great to work with Decent Benefits and Pay

Cons

-A lot of employees are there for a paycheck and don't do their job and continue to live off GE's dole. -No forward thinking and our market shares are showing it. -Road block innovation by having their scientist/engineers do all the commercial and marketing data BEFORE they can work on their ideas. -little to no promotion -lack of a willingness to change from "The good 'ole days" of being GE -Vacation is non-existent unless you've been there for over 10 years (2 weeks for 5 years, 3 weeks till 10 years, and then 4 weeks max) -profit sharing is laughable due to lack of direction from upper management and ridiculous goals that are un-achievable. -Commercial team is lazy and wont do their job of finding new and potential markets and gets upset when innovative ideas are brought up. -Facilities are ancient and roofs are leaking everywhere -preventative maintenance is a bad word in Manufacturing. Instead, they cut corners to save a dime, but in the end it cost them customers, and several million dollars in products -EHS in manufacturing is lazy and doesn't know much about regulations except what has been put in front of them and expects the R&D group to make the changes needed instead of manufacturing doing it.
