Former Employee – worked at GE Healthcare full-time for less than a year

Pros – Very flexible schedule, good compensation, my plants management was pretty good. I was non-exempt which is always a good position to be in.

Cons – They will lay you off in a flash. I was told I was getting laid off literally the day after I had my first annual review and was told I was getting a raise. Needless to say that was not a pleasant experience. It wasn't anybody in the plants doing so I can't say bad things about the actual facility I worked in.

Advice to Senior Management – Quit laying off dedicated employees because business grew .1% less than the projected amount. Especially one week after they just bought a house.
