Pros

I think that General Motors pays pretty well. GM is a large company that has a variety of opportunities.

Cons

The automotive industry as a whole is on the downside. GM is in extreme costcutting mode, that is trickling down to everyone.

Pros

if you're ruthless, love to curse and not afraid to fire good, hard working people for having to take off to take care of a sick child, then this is a good place for you to work.

Cons

Long hours, MUST Stand on your FEET anywhere from 9 to 11 hrs a day with a 30 minute and 20 minute break and constance repitition

Pros

Many of the older people have taken early retirement allowing opportunities for younger engineers. I know work in the Powertrain HQ in Pontiac. There many great jobs at that location. They work on engines, transmissions, etc. There are now over 100 dyno cells at that location. If you are a more senior engineer, you get a company car.

Cons

Financial uncertainty. Job moves (i.e. different cities) often required for advancement.
