Pros

The pay is above many other manufacturing jobs. It is a place where further education is promoted and GE offers great Leadership opportunities. Something is always going on and it is a very fast pace job. There is never a dull moment. The people who work at GE are really great people who are welcoming and open to new ideas. Everyone is very professional and are willing to work as a team to get the job done. GE is located all over the world and offers great opportunities to travel and experience different cultures. GE also owns several different types of businesses and it is relatively easy to jump from one business to the next if desired.

Cons

There is no work life balance. Working at GE is a lifestyle. GE runs 24 hrs a day, seven days a week. When something needs to be done it is expected that Employees will drop everything they had going on after work to stay and get the job done. Because of the expectation it is not a good company to start a family. They offer very little vacation time - Entry level only get 2 weeks of vacation for the first five years working at GE. After five years employees get 3 weeks of vacation. It is also a very stressful work environment.
