Pros

GE has a reputation for being able to get talented people (the draw is the name) People are nice to work with Benefits ok compared to other places

Cons

False promises-promote work/life balance to get you in the door Lack of professionalism and expertise of Senior Leadership Low Salaries compared to competitors---no incentives---no bonuses Unethical, cut-throat, throw you "under-the-bus" culture Insensitive to employees needs and recommendations for improvement Promote people without backgrounds to positions and then pay for them to get the qualifications later Typically work 10 to 12 hr days and weekends Lack of employee recognition and use of Awards Recognition program Lack of career growth opportunities Favoritism Unfair pay with women Big salary discrepancies HR is a joke---lack of concern for employees--HR reps rotate frequently and promoted often High turn-over Company lacks innovation Company is behind the times in comparison with competitors Lack of training opportunities for employees- only for the "chosen"
