How can a New GM be born with the same Managers?
Engineer • Current Employee
Warren, Michigan, United States
April 2, 2009
Pros: Opportunities for learning about best practices in manufacturing.
Collecting a regular paycheck for an honest day's work.
Meeting some of the most intelligent people you will ever cross paths with.
Cons: GM is still top-heavy. Management drove GM into the ground with the help of the union, yet those in management positions are still employed with fantastic salaries and perks. These people need to be removed from their positions to allow for fresh ideas and enthusiasm. There cannot be a new GM with the same people in charge, even at the departmental level (Level 8s and above).

Overall, a great company with good pay and benefits that looks to have a bright future
Engineer • Former Employee
Warren, Michigan, United States
April 13, 2020
Pros: Work-life balance is improving. Amazing pay and benefits, great vacation time that is respected, and lots of holidays off.
Cons: There are lots of expectations for some roles/positions in certain departments, while other positions with the same pay in different departments work way less hours and have less to worry about. Although they say it is possible, it is really hard to move around to other positions.
