Pros

If you like manufacturing, its the place for you. Its like working at the Willie Wonka chocolate factory, only that its car parts. Cool for the first few weeks if you're me.

Cons

Not challenging at all, feels like babysitting a bunch of old folks (union), some are good but the majority do want to sink the GM ship. Plus you'll hate putting on the radio, the working conditions are terrible, at least at the Flint facility, sound pollution, very dirty, not a very healthy facility. Plus, some of the managers seem like mentally challenged, they would usually get impressed by trivial stuff, not very rewarding for people that value themselves. HR people couldn't be this dumb, they can't communicate with you because they don't understand anything since all they do all day is chit-chat, and eat, and get greasy fat. Boring environment, a lot of old folks hating their 30 yr job career at GM, very FRUSRATING.

Pros

Benefits are decent……. IF you survive

Cons

Can name a few… 1. Poor leadership who hire their buddies and promote them into management level without any sense of technical or automotive knowledge 2. Lack of promotions or opportunities to move internally. If you are starting your career or mid way wanting growth. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! YOU ARE A NUMBER! (Example, ask all the QA folks who got sacked while their managers got moved around into different roles and engineering manager roles? Not sure how that works but ok 3. Let’s talk about the business now. Leadership doesn’t care if you know or understand the business. This automotive industry is dying. They try to copy Tesla and Mary and leadership can not get the world Tesla out of their mouth. Let’s focus more on autonomy please and not trying to be like someone else…. 4. Stacking raking kills. I understand GM is a business and not a scalable one but that’s not because of the business… it’s because of the people leadership keeps deciding to keep and fire. Ffs get rid of Lowell Kercheville and Stacy Lynett. Both have done no good for either company and neither has their leaders under them. Mhmmm coincidence?
