      Pros

      Company does not expect your soul. General Motors offers a very liberal vacation program. General Motors offers a very liberal benefits package. General Motors has a very intelligent workforce.

      Cons

      The company is in serious trouble with large legacy costs. The geographic location of GM limits the talent it can attract. The company is stingy with productivity enhancers such as notebook computers, cell phones, virtual offices.

      A good car company to work for, but a hard way to make a living.

      Pros

      Best Car Company to Work for. Developing excellent new products

      Cons

      Continued downsizing is demoralizing. Increasing feeling that only senior leadership has any of the answers.

      Pros

      The discount on cars is very good. Also I really get along well with most of the people I work with. The traditional week or so shutdown period between Christmas and New Year's Day (given as holidays) is something to look forward to every year. Up until recently the healthcare benefits were outstanding.

      Cons

      Career planning is basically non-existent. Also, some would say that favoritism is used when consideration is made for promotions. The current management strategy seems to be to pit each function against the other functions so decision making is excruciatingly difficult. Making progress often means that one must fight relentlessly until others give in through attrition.
