Pros

Outstanding benefits and engagement of cultural diversity. Tremendously thoughtful planning and continuous improvement program. Stakeholders have realized valuable returns on their investments.

Cons

Too many staffing cuts within these chellenging economic times makes for poor morale. Cuts should.come from the top, not the middle or bottom tier. GMI totes work life balance, but in order to succeed, you must sacrifice said balance.

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.
