      GE Offers the Best Leadership and Work Ethic in the Business

      Operations management leadership program

      Pros

      The pay is above many other manufacturing jobs. It is a place where further education is promoted and GE offers great Leadership opportunities. Something is always going on and it is a very fast pace job. There is never a dull moment. The people who work at GE are really great people who are welcoming and open to new ideas. Everyone is very professional and are willing to work as a team to get the job done. GE is located all over the world and offers great opportunities to travel and experience different cultures. GE also owns several different types of businesses and it is relatively easy to jump from one business to the next if desired.

      Cons

      There is no work life balance. Working at GE is a lifestyle. GE runs 24 hrs a day, seven days a week. When something needs to be done it is expected that Employees will drop everything they had going on after work to stay and get the job done. Because of the expectation it is not a good company to start a family. They offer very little vacation time - Entry level only get 2 weeks of vacation for the first five years working at GE. After five years employees get 3 weeks of vacation. It is also a very stressful work environment.

      Pros

      There is a lot of opportunity to learn a variety of roles. They offer many leadership development programs - some good, some so-so. If you can identify a good one, you should take advantage - they are resume builders. Benefits are good, too. Also, opening up the braintrust of a world - literally - of folks is very interesting.

      Cons

      If you want to move up, you need to move to less-than-desirable parts of the country. There can be too much analysis around projects - and someone is always quick to launch an unnecessary six sigma initiative around something. If you want to increase your pay, you need to jump to different business units. There's also a huge good old boy network - many people are still in positions that should have been eliminated some time ago.
