Pros

Good pay, but not equivalent when time is considered. The company is so large that good work is boxed in a manufacturing plant, never noticed by the top of the food chain. GM is in need of competent employees and the job keeps you on your toes.

Cons

The hours and schedule shifts based on production output. May work day on week and nights the next. There is not a lot of growth in the company unless you know the top execs. In addition, there is so much downsizing required to stay afloat, and lost volume through the downsizing that I would be nervous each night for job placency.

Pros

You are able to pursue master's programs. Good place for young people to be in. Is a good place to advance your career. It seems to take a while but seems rewarding. Company is trying to bring in new ways of thinking. Very global and one of the biggest companies in the world. Benefits are great. Compensation is somewhat high. I work in a plant and make the same amount of money as my friends in consulting. Rick Wagoner seems to be a great CEO to work for and got his stuff together. Yes the company is not doing great but who is ?

Cons

Here is a list of some downsides: Too many 50 + people who don't want to retire. A lot of them great and a lot very old school, don't give room for improvement, are years behind in the industry; Many older senior level management 8th and above who don't have a clue what is six sigma or GMS. Senior management seems to be old and unwilling to change with the times. There is a lack of diversity as everybody in the company; Most people close to 89 percent are from Michigan and have no clue what type cars are attractive in Texas or California; Many layers of upper management; Lack of diversity 94 % white , 5 % african american, 1.5 % latino, 3.5 % other

Pros

I think that General Motors pays pretty well. GM is a large company that has a variety of opportunities.

Cons

The automotive industry as a whole is on the downside. GM is in extreme costcutting mode, that is trickling down to everyone.
