Pros

Great benefits, reasonable life work balance, great people. My job is incredible. I truly enjoy the challenge and working in new product development. I think I have one of the best jobs on the market. However, the downsides sometimes make me want to leave.

Cons

Career growth difficult in my business (Appliance sector). If I thought I was being faily compensated I would think I had the absolute perfect job. Very diverse business, however, too often promotion opportunities are based upon minority/woment rather than those who are most qualified for the promotion. There is a vast difference between the "executives" vs. "non-executive" salaries and benefit packages. The only folks that get any bonuses are the "execs" so don't expect anything less.

Pros

They have decent benefits, plenty of areas to work in, several locations, hard working co-workers. There is plenty of corporate money to be spent on the employees and projects necessary to be successful. GE Aircraft has a long history of success and the airline industry is determined to stay in business. With a mix of private and government contracts, there should be no real danger of a shortage in work anytime soon.

Cons

Many lobs are being sent offshore, airline industry dependent, government contract dependent, harder to advance your career. The facilities and offices are quite outdated but as a shop for building aircraft engines it does suffice.

Pros

great reputation company, well respected. It si important for the management integrity and honest behaviuor which makes the company a safe place to work.

Cons

too much bureaucracy, sometimes difficult to advance in the career. If you are not part of a leadership program it is very very hard to move in your career and you are lost in the organizaton.
