General Motors Reviews

Overwhelming Workload: You’re constantly juggling a growing list of tasks with no support or structure to get it done. You're alone all day working on your own. Conflicting Interests: Different departments push you to prioritize their projects, even though they don’t count toward the specific goals you're actually graded on. Corporate Disconnect: HQ calls all the shots without understanding how things actually work on the ground. Cutthroat Environment: The culture is tense because everyone is competing for attention just to avoid being part of the next round of layoffs. Limited Growth: Most jobs outside of the field are in Michigan, and promotions to these roles are extremely difficult, almost humorously difficult to get. Forced Relocation: You can’t get a raise or a better title without moving to a different district (aka new city) Misleading Role: It’s pitched as a sales job, but the day-to-day is really just paperwork and checking off boxes with the dealers while trying to push your metrics and get everything done without making the dealers mad.

A punitive performance rating system is applied in the name of a higher standard of performance. Work showcased by loud employees with no real impact is valued over high-quality execution. As a result, the actual low performers can stay in their positions with subpar performance if they know people in the organization. On the other hand, dissent from superiors is penalized heavily, and termination occurs based on dissenting ideas or disagreements.
