Pros of working at General Motors

I loved the work I did there. Challenging and exciting and mostly my leader would help me if I was stuck with a situation I couldn't answer. Also it was close to home. Your superiors don't breathe down your neck watching you perform your job.

Cons of working at General Motors

I was contracted an last year all contractors at GM were laid off. It really left a bad taste in my mouth. I wasn't considered to be Hired direct because my manager would rather of hired his friends and former co-workers even without associates or bachleors degrees before me. I never missed work, did my job and felt I was a great employee. Never got a chance to be hired. Therefore, I was laid off with the rest of the hundreds of contract employees just like that! Being there almost 8 years - 15 years total and they would rather hired a kid right out of college who didn't know much about the business, had a poor attitude and would quit on a dime if they didn't give him the time off he requested. They is no protocol how to hired someone - just don't matter if you had the education or experience. Nepotism runs in this company also. With all of this said , I would NEVER EVER buy a GM product.EVER. I'd rather walk. A lot of people I talked to are in agreement. The way the lay-off was handled was so unprofessional. Surprised the scape goat Mary Bara still works there. I wonder what stupid move she's going to take next.employees beware.
