Heavy emphasis and use of powerpoint

Advice to Senior Management

Spend more money on marketing our business and building our brand

Pros

Benefit package was excellent, especially health insurance. But I believe the health insurance has since been downgraded.

Very low pay, limited advancement opportunities, a lot of dissatisfied co-workers. Not a friendly environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay your employees better with more respect.

Didn't curtail office BS.

Advice to Senior Management

Hire a manager that can inspire people t be great not just force feed motivation

Pros

Nice Challenge and Excellent benefits

Cons

Bureaucracy sometimes got in the way of progress

Pros

Good benefits, good time off, good work-life balance.

Cons

Terrible management, all snobish and in a world of their own. Everything takes a long time to get done. Too much red tape, too little autonomy, too much politics. Hard to feel appreciated, no meritocracy.

Advice to Senior Management

Be lean and ready to act. Meetings about meetings about meetings are very counter productive. Think about results rather than saving face. Stop passing the buck, take ownership and responsibility for your actions.

Pros

Decent pay which is usually competitive with the market

Cons

The worst work/life balance you are likely to encounter; the amount of overtime work required is unreasonable and Finance positions in particular are structured to stretch employees to an unfair extent. Finance often does not play a sufficent "business partner" role and is more administrative in nature rather than strategic. Decisions are governed primarily by politics and fear and employee morale is uniformly bad due to resentment felt by the inhumane conditions; employees at SPB level especially are simply expected to sacrifice personal time to an infinite extent, even on weekends. This company is like a corporate human rights violation.

Advice to Senior Management

Employees are human beings and even valuable assets.

Pros

Ge Capital was a great place to work for the people, jobs, and environment was great to work in for me.

Cons

The hours were not the best, as there was a minimum of 40 hours per week, but it was ok.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep doing everything how you are doing it currently. The business model is great and will continue to do great things.

Pros

Nice campus, smart people, challenging work sometimes.

Cons

The leadership in CT does not see a difference between us and any of their outsourced talent. They tend to think of us as hired guns and simple labor, not seasoned capable pros. The healthcare is the worst in the area.

Advice to Senior Management

Train up the VPs and CIOs about how to treat employees. Crotonville did not work for many of them. Learn the MidWwst nice tradition. We find your East Coast attitude arrogant.

Pros

Gobal brand
work life balance
good working hours
monthly staff engagement activities

Cons

Not much growth opportunity
not competitive compensation package

Advice to Senior Management

improve growth opportunity inside company

Pros

Large company with many learning opportunities. Clean offices and work spaces. Very established and secure place to work. Because of this there are no suprises on a day to day basis.

Cons

Extremely structured. You are a number, not a person. New ideas are not welcome; you do your job and you go home.
