Pros

GE is undoubtedly the biggest conglomerate within the US. Therefore, the transitional placement within the company is endless. You can be an engineer, a financial analyst, etc.

Cons

Like a double edged sword, while GE provides some of the best education for its employees, it sticks to only that. Most of the employees at GE can be seen to only be working strictly for GE for the rest of their lives, simply because it is difficult to transition to other companies outside of GE. (i.e. GE's FMP program is a replacement for business school)
