Pros

none for new workers all new hires are entry level starting at 14 per hour

Cons

I was hired as a temp in Febuary 2007 i was making 22 dollars per hour.It was less then the traditional workers were making but not by much it was fine.when the new contract came about we were told that if it passed 500 temps would be hired at our plant and those that was not hired would be if we were still there after jan 2 08,well we were brought back January 2 08 but was not hired and was told instead of making us full time traditional employees they would pay us for x mas vacation and allow us to come back after new year but as temps still. Fast forward to June 08 after being laid off for 6 months was called back again as temps but this time got hired as perm. however it was at the two-tier wage of 14 per hour which is supposed to be for non-core jobs such as maintenance or paint mixing and the such something that does' nt involve building the vehicles but i have been back on the same job i was before working side by side with my traditional co workers doing the same job as me for 30 per hour.

Pros

Benefits are decent……. IF you survive

Cons

Can name a few… 1. Poor leadership who hire their buddies and promote them into management level without any sense of technical or automotive knowledge 2. Lack of promotions or opportunities to move internally. If you are starting your career or mid way wanting growth. THIS IS NOT THE PLACE! YOU ARE A NUMBER! (Example, ask all the QA folks who got sacked while their managers got moved around into different roles and engineering manager roles? Not sure how that works but ok 3. Let’s talk about the business now. Leadership doesn’t care if you know or understand the business. This automotive industry is dying. They try to copy Tesla and Mary and leadership can not get the world Tesla out of their mouth. Let’s focus more on autonomy please and not trying to be like someone else…. 4. Stacking raking kills. I understand GM is a business and not a scalable one but that’s not because of the business… it’s because of the people leadership keeps deciding to keep and fire. Ffs get rid of Lowell Kercheville and Stacy Lynett. Both have done no good for either company and neither has their leaders under them. Mhmmm coincidence?
