Pros

Discounts on car. They are also good with letting people take time off. Good discounts on events and good benefits package. Depending on your job, management is pretty much clueless as to exactly what your 'duties' are.

Cons

Management is clueless. They show no appreciation, and give very little information about activities coming downstream. The work environment is very segregated, with visibile minorities sticking with themselves. At times, it becomes very hard to get work done, as people just wonder around drinking tea without really answering any emails or returning phone calls with proper answers.

Pros

Reasons to work at GM: love of the automotive industry, interest in manufacturing, desire to work at a big corporation

Cons

Reasons not to work at General Motors: below industry average salary for "worker bees", managers too worried about putting out fires, poor communication of leadership with lower management, scarce promotional opportunities due to industry conditions, most assembly plant locations are not interesting to young professionals, trying to transition jobs to lower cost regions of the world, hard to increase pay unless you take a leadership/manegerial jump (which are scarce), career development is lacking, the long term picture doesn't look good
