Business outlook
Pros
The General typically starts you out at a higher salary, looks good on a resume and you can learn a lot if you ask a lot of questions.
Cons
General Motors expects you to be available 24/7. Salary employees can be walking out the door and they will get stopped and told to work OT, no matter what. A fellow engineer was fired for going on his honeymoon, after he had a signed vacation slip from his boss a year earlier. I left General Motors after five years and realized I forgot how nice life can be.
