Pros
- some managers are very nice and are willing to help you with your career advancement. - you get to learn things very quickly at GE. -management keeps track of your work so if there is an opening you will be considered before others. -very good internal hiring - if you negotiate correctly with your manager your salary can be very good. If you have a university education then you will start off with a great salary. If you have just completed high school then there are still many opportunities for you but your salary will suffer a bit but if you work hard and put in some years, your salary will increase to a certain extent. - looks good on a resume
Cons
- management is not helpful at all and blame the employees for everything. - basically, GE knows that because they are a big company and that everyone wants to work for them since it looks good on your resume, you are easily replaceable. - Turnover is very high and everyone is working there for the money and not for the people. - I would advice everyone who works there to always keep copies of your emails because there will be many times that management will blame you for something. If you keep copies and confirmations from people then you have evidence that the job was done. - people are very childish and it's like going back to high school. Alot of back-biting and passing your work off to someone who works below you. - bad incentives for employees. There was no TV or employee lounge, the vending machines were bad and employee morale is very low - no collaboration between managers and employees - On the first day, you are basically told you what your job is and then its sink or skim. - management leaves early all the time. On Fridays you will not find any managers working after 2
