Pros

GMI really cares about their people for a very large corporation. Great brand recognition and pay, especially for the wage employees. Many opportunities to move to other plants and offices if you are willing.

Cons

Wage employees are treated like spoiled kids. Long hours in the plant environment (50+ hrs week not including weekends). Working in a plant, you don't get that much exposure to headquarters so the career paths are very hard to figure out. Also, not being in the rotational programs, it can be hard to learn about the company.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
