Pros

Good pay, but not equivalent when time is considered. The company is so large that good work is boxed in a manufacturing plant, never noticed by the top of the food chain. GM is in need of competent employees and the job keeps you on your toes.

Cons

The hours and schedule shifts based on production output. May work day on week and nights the next. There is not a lot of growth in the company unless you know the top execs. In addition, there is so much downsizing required to stay afloat, and lost volume through the downsizing that I would be nervous each night for job placency.

Pros

Benefits are decent……. IF you survive

Cons

Can name a few… 1. Poor leadership who hire their buddies and promote them into management level without any sense of technical or automotive knowledge 2. Lack of promotions or opportunities to move internally. If you are starting your career or mid way wanting growth. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! YOU ARE A NUMBER! (Example, ask all the QA folks who got sacked while their managers got moved around into different roles and engineering manager roles? Not sure how that works but ok 3. Let’s talk about the business now. Leadership doesn’t care if you know or understand the business. This automotive industry is dying. They try to copy Tesla and Mary and leadership can not get the world Tesla out of their mouth. Let’s focus more on autonomy please and not trying to be like someone else…. 4. Stacking raking kills. I understand GM is a business and not a scalable one but that’s not because of the business… it’s because of the people leadership keeps deciding to keep and fire. Ffs get rid of Lowell Kercheville and Stacy Lynett. Both have done no good for either company and neither has their leaders under them. Mhmmm coincidence?
