Pros

Most of the employees are great to work with Decent Benefits and Pay

Cons

-A lot of employees are there for a paycheck and don't do their job and continue to live off GE's dole. -No forward thinking and our market shares are showing it. -Road block innovation by having their scientist/engineers do all the commercial and marketing data BEFORE they can work on their ideas. -little to no promotion -lack of a willingness to change from "The good 'ole days" of being GE -Vacation is non-existent unless you've been there for over 10 years (2 weeks for 5 years, 3 weeks till 10 years, and then 4 weeks max) -profit sharing is laughable due to lack of direction from upper management and ridiculous goals that are un-achievable. -Commercial team is lazy and wont do their job of finding new and potential markets and gets upset when innovative ideas are brought up. -Facilities are ancient and roofs are leaking everywhere -preventative maintenance is a bad word in Manufacturing. Instead, they cut corners to save a dime, but in the end it cost them customers, and several million dollars in products -EHS in manufacturing is lazy and doesn't know much about regulations except what has been put in front of them and expects the R&D group to make the changes needed instead of manufacturing doing it.

Pros

Friendly colleagues and flexible hours.

Cons

As an international company with employees working in different time zones, it sometimes gets difficult to communicate with colleagues. This may sometimes lead to unusual office hours.

Pros

-There are no positive benefits to this site. -If you're fresh out of school and desperately need a job, they're always hiring. -Union employee's want to do the right thing but get no support.

Cons

-This is a dying business, and therefore there is no investment. -Worst corporate and local management I have ever seen. -Very unsafe, -Different rules for different people. -Want you to come in off hours just to make the management feel good. -Last in all metrics. -Corporate HR lies, and got arrested. -Dirty because their dust collector is inefficient and under sized. -Senior positions are boomers that just want to coast.
