General Motors

• 20 vacation days (you have to use them every year or you lose them. It makes it nice because management knows and normally doesn't care when you take them)
• 16-17 paid holidays in addition to vacation time (you get voting day off, enough said)
• Friendly environment
• $45 a month for health care (Banner network only, there is an option for other networks as well)

If you are not friends with management, you will not get good raises or bonuses. I know people on my team that worked very hard and did the majority of the work in certain areas of our application but did not get a raise simply because other people were friends with our manager, and the money went to them. A lot of time is wasted on future job goals, and your manager does not do anything about it. I have told my manager I wanted to work more on front-end and API more than five times, and he said, "These discussions are more for your benefit, not mine." I said it earlier, but I will say it again: be friends with management, otherwise you will not benefit as much as others. Reorganizations happen every year there. A lot of things you do are based off the CIO's metrics. They don't care what you think as long as their metrics are where they want them.

Be fair. If employees work hard, give them the raise and bonus they deserve.
