Assembling Motors
Supervisor (Former Employee) - Fairfax Plant (kck) - March 10, 2015
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedBeing on time and Attendance was very important. the line started at the top of the hour beginning each shift rather your at your station or not. I learned to use a bunch of different power tools, read manifest and 6 months after working there I was put into the "pool" where I was responsible for Relieving workers and replace anyone that would miss days. Management was very distant but handled a comfortable workplace. Co-workers was very welcoming. Hardest thing about the job was Keeping up with the line until you get the hang of things. I loved the wages and scheduling.

I really enjoyed my job. I felt like I made a difference with the clients and employees. Sorry I had to leave due to moving out of state. Help was there when I needed and learned a lot.

Not great
Team Lead (Former Employee) - Spring Hill, TN - January 30, 2023
Not really a great place to work. The management doesn't care, hours are inconsistent. Money is the only thing they have going for them. Wouldn't recommend if you can help it.

Terrible place all around
Production associate (Former Employee) - Lockport, NY - January 29, 2023
Terrible place to work. Supervisors pull you in all different directions and fight over where you should be working then you are blamed for working in an area you were told to work when another supervisor wants you somewhere else. It's ridiculous
Pros
Noe
Cons
Working there

Good Place to Work
IT Analyst (Former Employee) - Remote - January 27, 2023
GM's benefits are a big reason to work here - great benefits packages including family forming assistance. Work/life balance is pretty good, it honestly depends on your role/department. Overall I'd recommend working here.

Mediocre Management
California Customer Engagement Center (Former Employee) - Austin, TX - January 26, 2023
Managers have NO Leadership Skills. Kept raising the Expectation Bar while just giving you the Cold Shoulder. Overwhelming Case Load while the Internal Agents Walked all over you and take you for Granted. Human Resource was just as worst. Wrote multiple Statements and Request multiple times to transfer out of this dept. All Ignored.
Pros
Work at Home
Cons
Mediocre Managers

Jobs at General Motors
The benefits and Pay are the only reason to stay at this job. It’s definitely manual labor and long hours and mandatory o/t will wreck your mind/body!
Team Leader (Current Employee) - Arlington, TX - January 25, 2023
Good job if you have someone to raise your children or take care of your household while you work. There’s no life/work balance. The job is tough, management is tough, HR is tough, the union isn’t what it once was, if I didn’t have benefits and pay that was outstanding I wouldn’t have been there 10 plus years! S harassment by management is a norm. Union and management are on the same side so don’t get in any trouble. Your coworkers aren’t your friends so beware!
Pros
Pay, insurance and profit sharing/benefits
Cons
No time off, mandatory o/t, hard to request PTO, horrid management, messy coworkers

Good money, bad work life balance
Group Leader (Former Employee) - Bedford, IN - January 21, 2023
You will work seven days a week most of the time. You will be working as salary and most likely will be around 70 hrs to 80 hrs worked a week and only getting paid for 40hrs. Money can still be good but will not have time for family or any sort of life.

Engineer
vehicle engineer (Former Employee) - milford proving grounds - January 18, 2023
The company is very dynamic, especially with the changes in direction (EVs etc). Depending on the department you work, there is always a chance it can be dissolved and job security is not always the best. The vacation / bonus is not bad at all. There is also the battle of being in the "clique" if you want to move up the corporate ladder or work in a unique area.
Pros
vacation, work locations, bonus
Cons
corporate politics, job security

A lot of work for a little pay.
Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) - Boiling Brook, Illinois - January 18, 2023
At the Bolingbrook, Illinois location they have you start at least two weeks in the dayshift and then they move you to the Night Shift. Honestly, the dayshift is probably the easiest but when he comes to the night shift everyone’s really mean. The amount of forced overtime is ridiculous. Sometimes they’re not walking out of there till 2 AM or 12 AM. You’ll get a raise one dollar every year or something like that. The only messed up part about that is there’s some guy that’ll be doing the same job as you and be getting paid double. To be honest it’s only really busy during the holiday season but if you’re willing to stay there for five years plus to actually get a living wage then go for it.
Pros
Union guys are cool.
Cons
Everyone’s got a bad attitude/low pay high work

Not the best place to work
Product Owner (Former Employee) - Remote - January 18, 2023
Sure having GM on your resume might take you far but the culture and some folks from the upper management are toxic to deal with. You have brown nose to be in a good position with colleagues, or atleast know someone in the company who can "give a good word" about you.
Pros
Good to have on your resume
Cons
People and culture are toxic

Good work life balance
Software Developer (Current Employee) - Atlanta, GA - January 17, 2023
Work life balance is great and makes a nice place out of college to get your feet wet with the development lifecycle. Pay is on the lower end of the scale and most benefits are industry standard.
