Pros

Generous time off (Holidays) and a nice benefit package.

High performers are rewarded, promoted, and put on good projects.

GM will sponsor permanent residency for motivated employees.

I only spend 40 hours a week and am not expected to be answering emails at all hours of the day. Very good work/life balance.

Don't forget the GM employee discount on cars.

Cons

Still remnants of the "good old days". Senior employees show up very early to avoid work and leave early. GM will not fire them outright, but they still take up space and the spot of a person who would gladly show up and work.

Because of the size of GM, you really have to work hard to stand out. Otherwise, you're lost in the hustle and bustle of daily operations.

Advice to Management

Cut the dead weight off. They are wasting company money and put in fresh blood.
