GE Fleet Services Reviews

Former Employee – worked at GE Fleet Services full-time for more than a year

Pros – Good training program, love working with some of the people there.

Cons – Too much politics, you feel like you are a moving target. Their so called performance review is very bias, coming from the people who would like to advanced by doing everything to get rid off you. If you don't get along with one of your co-worker, just be prepare to get a bad performance review. They also treated their consultant bad.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop micro managing,the so called performance ( more like personal behavior review) is not doing anything but making the employees miserables.

Former Employee – worked at GE Fleet Services

Pros – Excellent resources to learn new skills and competencies on the job. Fantastic training provided by corporate. Good coworkers, very dedicated and smart. Good benefits, pays some tuition, cafe on site, fitness on site. Lots of opportunities to grow

Cons – Management has no clue on how to develop and manage a team. The responsibility of developing a team is not priority for management. Employees who are willing to learn new skills, and better understand the business needs are not seen as helpful. Management has the mindset of my way or the highway. They generally rate you as a poor prefomer if u don't do everything their way. ! These type of managers are the exception.I don't know how the keep their job.

Advice to Senior Management – Learn how to effectively devolop and manage your teams. Get serious about technology.

Former Employee – worked at GE Fleet Services

Pros – - Being part of the greater General Electric organization provides many diverse career opportunities in a variety of industries, functions and locations.
- General Electric supports employees with many training and career development opportunities, flexible working arrangements, and competitive salaries and benefits.
- General Electric has a very results-oriented culture and attracts some of the most talented individuals. I learned a lot during long tenure with GE working for multiple GE divisions.
- GE treats layoffs very seriously due to the high liability. This makes severance packages very attractive.

Cons – - The Fleet Services business is a poor representation of the larger GE culture. Unlike my experience in other GE divisions, Fleet Services is not a meritocracy as GE is for the most part.
- At Fleet Services it's all about a few key individuals (senior - mid level mgmt) who are the key opinion leaders in the organization - they make all the real decisions regardless of who actually holds the responsibility.
- Being part of GE Capital has been particularly stressful since the 2008 financial credit crisis and Jeff Immelt decided to shrink GE Capital. So now the Fleet Services senior leaders are "out for themselves" instead of the good of the company.
- The post-crisis atmosphere is one of fear, distrust and disappointment among most employees, making it a very negative daily environment.

Advice to Senior Management – Work on sharing information about the company health and direction more candidly and in a more timely manner with employees. Suppressing key details of the business strategy and financial reality from most employees only breeds rumors and kills motivation.

Current Employee – been working at GE Fleet Services

Pros – It is a good plcae to work at especially because it is a huge company and you would get lots of oppurtunities to learn about other technologies because of the enormous exposure you get there

Cons – It is a place where nothing is really organised. You need to be very patient in the beginning to get used to the environment

Advice to Senior Management – I congratulate the leadershio of GE Fleet services for efficiently running it during difficult financial times world over. Way to go!!!

Current Employee – been working at GE Fleet Services

Pros – Training and development opportunities for personal growth. (Some) sense of creative and entreprenaurial space with projects and methods at the beginning, only to have them fester while no one will actually take a risk on something and approve the spend. Many local, national, and global advancement opportunities in diverse subject areas.

Cons – Red tape and beauracracy. Too many new initiatives, of which, many go by the wayside as priorities change, which is much too often. No clear line of decision making leads to much wasted time and little progress. It amazes me that senior executives got as far as they did in their careers because they sure aren't the brightest bunch.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't just say stuff to go along with the majority when you don't really believe in it but don't have the guts to stand up for yourself. The place is a shining example of passive agressive behavior, which really sucks.

Former Employee – worked at GE Fleet Services

Pros – If you are young and trying to get to a big company with good benefits and are not in need of consistent financial success, it can be a great place to learn "How not to do things"...it will also look good on your resume. Otherwise, it is a good alternative to unemployment.

Cons – The credit shop is weak, whenever someone gets competent they get moved and you're stuck training another rookie. Leadership changes are constant, from 2000-2008 there was not 1 SVP - Sales who made their number or who had ever made a living "selling". It is a rotation job for GE execs to get some "sales" experience on their resume. It has actually been a dead end for those people...they're all gone from GE...basically a career graveyard.

Advice to Senior Management – learn the business, forget about your next job, go on sales calls with your sales force - top to bottom

Former Employee – worked at GE Fleet Services

Pros – Management is great. Very helpful in the sense of helping one move up into potential senior management roles. Fast paced working environment and a lot to learn in a little time.

Cons – There is not really much of a downside that I found with my time at GE. Just a lot of competition in regards to moving up to a senior management role, but it is not impossible either.

Current Employee – been working at GE Fleet Services

Pros – Work/life balance is encouraged as well as flexible work arrangements. Having the greater GE to tap into is a bonus; Fleet is small in comparison but the opportunities and perspectives we are exposed to is a plus.

Cons – Working within an organization where many functions report outside the building is challenging and makes communication difficult; different departments have varying goals and objectives.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep communicating, maintain integrity (words match actions); hire talent that can think outside the box.
