Pros
Salary (if you negotiate a high salary upon hire) Unlimited vacation if your are salary Work/Life Balance
Cons
The Management is truly awful. HR is not ethical. The OMSBUD's division is as biased and unreliable as the HR persons. The saying, "it's not what you know but who you know" should be the motto, instead of the integrity motto that is tried to depict....because it does not exist. Luckily, I had Sr. Managers who were able to recognize hard work but very few are that fortunate. I was a salary LPB, but unless you are a part of the "click" most people will not move up. Common sense is a rare commodity in the Power division. Retaliation is very real in GE-Power (though it is preached in the handbooks of the zero-tolerance)...it depends on the knowledge and biases ..and don't forget the buddies of the HR/Omsbud. Whistle-blowing for illegal activities that are taking place should be performed but, as mentioned, retaliation is very real so many are afraid to go to 1) their management 2) HR and/or 3) Omsbud because often the employee who attempts to do or say the right thing are the ones who are harrassed at the end. I would highly deter anyone from working for this company unless you are gluten for punishment or ulcers. 7 years was all I could do.
