Pros

The future of GM is great! A lot of opportunities. Jobs can be exciting based on what you do. GM is getting way better over the years.

Cons

Bureaucracy still remains.

Managers still frown upon letting you try different positions.

It's hard to speak up and get noticed.

Job growth can take years.

There's no free food, and the cafeteria can be expensive.

Advice to Management

Let your employees grow. If they want to try out different things, help them find an opportunity.

Hire EGMs wisely, rather than focusing on how much experience or how old someone is. Having a Ph.D. doesn't necessarily mean they are fit for managing a whole team.

Have rotational programs available for all employees, rather than just for new college grads.

Let your employees at least drive the cars they are helping to build. A lot of employees don't even know what they are working for until it shows up in a car. And then again, they never even get to drive them.

Have the ambassador program (keeping a company car) back!
