Assembling Motors
Supervisor (Former Employee) – Fairfax Plant (kck) – March 10, 2015
Being 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.
Challenges you to work at your best
Senior Financial Analyst (Current Employee) – Warren, MI – July 20, 2018
Exciting projects to work on to drive the business! I always felt that I had autonomy in anything that I worked on. Management is always willing to listen to new ideas.
Chaotic Place
Quality Lead (Former Employee) – Austin, TX – July 19, 2018
No proper direction from management and no sense of ownership. Middle management is lost in the power struggle and favoritism game and not identifying true talent.
Each day is lost in several meeting figuring out the true requirement and people just argue argue in the meetings with no outcome and ownership.

Pros
Good Pay package, health benefits...
Cons
No work life balance and terrible work culture
Hard on supervisors
Production Supervisor (Former Employee) – Rochester, NY – July 19, 2018
Seems like a lovely environment at first until you realize it is another "Good ole boys club" and if you just want to do your job and go home they will literally single you out. The hours can be almost abusive and they will use insane company policies as an excuse to corner you or even get rid of you if you don't fit in their club. The union isn't the worst part, it's the management. Great people working for you as well. I will miss my team.
Pros
money
Cons
everything else
Great teamwork and comradery
Junior ABAP Developer (Current Employee) – Chandler, AZ – July 19, 2018
The people in the building are amazing individuals that have awesome talent. Everyone is looking to have a good time, while still focusing on the work at hand. It is a great place to make new friends and future connections.
Pros
Dress Code, benefits
Cons
Have to pay for everything yourself, never a company paid meal
Great place to work.
Manufacturing Engineering Manager (Former Employee) – Kansas City, KS – July 18, 2018
General Motors was a great place to be employed.
During my time at General Motors the Plant Manager had a lot of control and power. That person had the full responsibility of the plant. Depending upon the organization which one worked, depended upon the Plant Manager poole. One could work for one organization today, and another organization the following day.

Refuse to address major issues
Developer (Former Employee) – Austin, TX – July 17, 2018
They have every 2 years employee feed back surveys .
The last two were not what they wante and they have not addressed any issues.
Employee engagements is low.
Training is really bad
Moving people to new projects and expecting they learne the new code in very short turn around time.
They have this cult like philosophy called Drive To Great it is a cross between dyanetics and the process church of the final judgment. Or Anthony Robins.
Dangerous thinking and they build cars .

Engineering Group Manager - Systems Engineering (Current Employee) – Milford, MI – July 15, 2018
I thoroughly enjoy working at General Motors! Always challenging and interesting assignments, and upward mobility is achievable by anyone via dedicated work.
IT Developers/Programmers Should Avoid
Senior UI Developer (Current Employee) – Austin, TX – July 15, 2018
Business culture heavy. Development and innovation take a back seat to deadlines. Leadership consistently over-promises deliverables to business partners without first consulting development teams. Look for an actual tech company if you want to work somewhere that is open to using new technologies and methodologies.
Collaborative work Environment
Senior Data Services Engineer (Current Employee) – Detroit, MI – July 12, 2018
Great place to work. I was given an opportunity to constantly learn about new technologies and apply them to my work right away. Managers and co workers all worked well together.
No acknowledgement
Fork Truck Operator (Current Employee) – Detroit, MI – July 12, 2018
If you work hard you get to help the people who won't.
No opportunity for advancement of any kind, and the union will continuously bring people back that were fired no matter the reason.

Productive and excellent place to grow
Strategic Execution Industrial Engineer (Current Employee) – Fort Wayne, IN – July 11, 2018
The roles and responsibilities are executed in a well planned manner for efficient work. I learned the importance of planning and execution in the plant and the production standards. Management strived for greater output and achieved it by following the company motto.
Good for pay
Elected Union Representative (Current Employee) – Kansas City, KS – July 11, 2018
Good money, miserable life. The people and environment are very immature. It has a high population of low education, and those are the people that create the most issues. Work hard or find another job, if the foundation on the floor.
Worldwide opportunities

GM provides opportunities worldwide with locations all around the globe. Salaried opportunities in many different fields and specializations. You are encouraged to learn various business segments.
Pros

Great Company
ONSTAR QUALITY ASSURANCE ANALYST (Former Employee) – Atlanta, GA – July 9, 2018
