Interesting work, worsening benefits
The work is interesting. There are always challenging new problems to solve, technology to develop, and other stuff engineers live for.
GE benefits are bad and getting worse.
Pension is gone. Vacation is gone. Medical insurance is poor, with a high deductible and out-of-pocket costs.
The 60-year-old plant in Salem is maintained barely well enough to keep rain off people's desks. No joke.
The company treats the site like we are all factory workers, not engineering and technical staff.
You are lucky anyone agrees to work in Salem, which is in an economically depressed area. In an area with a robust economy, the place would empty out.
