Tough business with lots of critics. GM has much better people, better management, and better products than people think

Pros

Making exciting products, if you are into cars. Taking home a Corvette, a CTS-V, or the latest plug-in Spark or Volt is much more exciting for me than my friend's perks in Silicon Valley, who get to take home the latest software on their laptop.

Very good pay for the area's cost of living. Good vacation plan. Good schools. Overall, good for families.

Cons

We have to live with critics all around, in the press and from the public, due to the 80s and the recent bailout.

Advice to Management

Work on career paths and do more to reduce silos. There are still many departments that should be combined.
