Pros

Overall, GM of Canada was a good place to work. Initially, it provided a great benefits package and opportunity for training. However, due to economic times, things have changed for employees at GM.

Cons

Old-school thinking and management styles.

Too many layers of middle management.

Very little room for career advancement.

Unionized hourly labor force, generally difficult to work with, which inhibits growth and advancement of the company.

Old boys' club.

Advice to Management

GM needs to develop and retain new leaders of tomorrow. There is too much emphasis on the way things were done. A complete overhaul of the company is required by someone outside the industry.
