Nothing wrong with GM
Nothing wrong with GM
General Motors offered lots of flexibility regarding time off/work-life balance. My managers were always agreeable when I needed to take time off; however, I did not abuse this benefit like some did. The salary was acceptable, nothing great but not bad either. I could have left to get a higher salary, but I preferred the better working conditions over a higher salary. The benefits were fairly good as well.
Unfortunately, there were limited opportunities for promotion within the Engineering area due to downsizing. Whenever a manager would leave or retire, they would basically take the people who worked for him or her and put them under someone else, instead of replacing the manager by promoting someone.
In addition, the overall automotive sector, especially the US manufacturers, is not doing well. GM and Ford are having a hard time competing due to high structural costs.
Keep moving toward "greener" vehicles.
