Pros

It is no longer GM

Cons

Inept management. Many of the front line managers/supervisors had their start in the rancid U.A.W. local and are incapable of differentiating crap from apple butter. Nepotism runs rampant and the true mission of these morons has degenerated from providing a quality product to merely presenting a facade of concern for productivity and quality. It is all about appearances, and playing out the string. Senior management's continual assault upon employee benefits coupled with broken promises of new work has convinced most that management is incapable of ever telling the truth to its employees. The facilities in Indy are both dirty and antiquated but they make up for this by housing the largest colony of cockroaches known to exist in the northern hemisphere on site. Third world countries have better IT and the majority of the machinery looks like junk found abandoned at curb side.
