Pros
Reasons to work at GM: love of the automotive industry, interest in manufacturing, desire to work at a big corporation
Cons
Reasons not to work at General Motors: below industry average salary for "worker bees", managers too worried about putting out fires, poor communication of leadership with lower management, scarce promotional opportunities due to industry conditions, most assembly plant locations are not interesting to young professionals, trying to transition jobs to lower cost regions of the world, hard to increase pay unless you take a leadership/manegerial jump (which are scarce), career development is lacking, the long term picture doesn't look good
