GM Employer Reviews

I have learned a great deal in quality when dealing with the assembly of a variety of cars/parts. I fully enjoyed working with the people at General Motors.

General Motors was a company that provided me with the opportunity to advance within the company. I was able to advance from machine operator to job-setter to manufacturer supervisor and into the electrical trade where I got my journeyman's card as an industrial electrician. I found my job as an electrician maintaining manufacturing equipment to be – more...  very rewarding and satisfying on a daily basis. – less

General Motors is a 100 yr old US automobile giant.

I was working in the capacity of cost estimator for Interior, Body & CLosures departments.

Design engineer would release Statement of requirement to me .. Based on Bill of material (BOM) I would do the zero base estimate & that estimate ( Allowable Cost) would be released to Finance & Programme team.

Finance – more...  will then release this cost to Purchase team as Target cost. Their job is to source parts at or bellow this cost. If they can not do that I used to get involved in negotiations with supplier.

Last year achived GM India President's award for achiving maximum cost saving from cost engineering (in negotiations). I achived 2.5 MUSD saving.

I wasmentoring 2 people for cost engineering in GM. – less

company was great to work for people were always there to help u in anyway they could.

As a technical consultant I take calls from General Motors Technicians and service personnel. The calls can be straight forward repair questions to indepth diagnostic assistance.
I have assisted in authoring technical service bulletins and train newly hired consultants.
During high call volume periods it can be very loud in the center and hard to hear – more...  the caller. The equipment we are issued can cancel some back ground noise but not all. – less

Car sales is a great place to learn the basic business processes. Working for a dealership was a great learning experience where I learned how to deal with people from all walks of life.

Big company mores.
Iffy union relations.
Arrogance towards customers.
Letter of the law attitude.

I worked on the assembly line doing various jobs.
I learned manual dexterity and the ability to work with many types of people.

i made a good living there for a long time. The pay was great and the benefits good. The culture and management need improving.

My coworkers were good to work with and made the shifts go by fairly good. Since it was a job that is dictated by market demand it was a bit of a roller coaster for job security.

I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment. I was the safety supervisor for second shift. It was a pleasure working with the employees as well as management. This company takes safety serious and really cares about the employees. Contract ended and position was filled with GM employee.

A typical day was mold repair and making service call .When i started work for delphi i was just a machine operator Then i was accept in to the apprenticeship for tool & die maker . And management repected you for your work and skills they were fair and just .We worked as a team the goal was to get the job done as productive as possible.There were times – more...  when time was a factor and we had no spare parts and we had to make it from the print. And in the same instance that would make it a good day – less

working with a cost saving group with high expectations was a good experience. learned alot about where OEM's had lost money over the years.

Good company to work for.Retired after working for them for 39 years.

A typically day involve working independently and collaborating with team to achieve the end result. I learned that I am very self-motivated and enjoy working in an atmosphere where I can continuously learn new things and improve my skills.
The most enjoy part of the job was the friendly environment and the availability to learning new things

Great company. Work was challenging and very diverse. Tons of room for advancement an the people were great!

Great effort to eliminate waste in all areas, extreme dedication to taking care of customers. Little opportunity to move up the ladder; somewhat over zealous to develop all-in-one employees.

Long hours but good pay
Management personnel were very approachable
Coworkers were easy to get along with

This assignment was great because it provided me experience in a major automotive company.

It’s a great experience to jump back into the trenches and demonstrate what most executives only talk about doing. I did it, from a no body to top 25 performers in the nation for Cadillac in less than 2 years. Most work lifetimes and never attain these results. It takes moxy. I have it, and demonstrated it.
