Pros

Flexibility from a work life balance perspective Global opportunities Opportunity to "own" projects, programs, processes Great discounts on GM vehicles and related services Opportunity to represent a company that everyone in the world has heard of Seeing our vehicles on the road and knowing that I played a part in the execution of a high-quality, great-looking product.

Cons

Scaling back operations in the US, which means fewer opportunities for advancement. Doing more with less means that those remaining sometimes take on an unmanageable amount of work Lack of control or minimal influence over the public's perception of our technology, quality, business model, prodcut portfolio, etc.

Pros

none for new workers all new hires are entry level starting at 14 per hour

Cons

I was hired as a temp in Febuary 2007 i was making 22 dollars per hour.It was less then the traditional workers were making but not by much it was fine.when the new contract came about we were told that if it passed 500 temps would be hired at our plant and those that was not hired would be if we were still there after jan 2 08,well we were brought back January 2 08 but was not hired and was told instead of making us full time traditional employees they would pay us for x mas vacation and allow us to come back after new year but as temps still. Fast forward to June 08 after being laid off for 6 months was called back again as temps but this time got hired as perm. however it was at the two-tier wage of 14 per hour which is supposed to be for non-core jobs such as maintenance or paint mixing and the such something that does' nt involve building the vehicles but i have been back on the same job i was before working side by side with my traditional co workers doing the same job as me for 30 per hour.
