      Lots of room to grow, but little regard for individuals who take risks or are driven to move the business forward.

      Pros

      Good people, good pay, lots of room for advancement, opportunities for international travel. Opportunity to migrate to diverse positions and departments. Plenty of good technologies.

      Cons

      Company values bureaucrats over initiative; 'process' over effectiveness and customer concern. Company has tendency to burn people out; use them up. Struggling sites have endless OT requirements. Often doesn't allocate required staff at start of project; then once it is behind, will throw bodies at it in inefficient manner.

      Pros

      Co-workers, good benefits, great 401k. Great travel opportunities if your position allows. Local management promotes a healthy work/life balance. Decent pay, but make sure you get paid what you are worth.

      Cons

      Layer after later of upper management that does not allow local decisions that need to be made on a day-to-day basis. Layers of management want to be responsible for everything without being accountable for anything. Career advancement moves at a snail's pace. Does not follow through with compensation promises.

      Learn something new everyday including how not to manage people

      Pros

      The work is interesting and you learn something new everyday. The job is enjoyable for me at least. Wide range of production jobs for wide range of skills ranging from basic inventory/ cleaning to highly technical . Most production areas have lots and lots of overtime if that's your thing.

      Cons

      The French can't run a company to save their country (why they sold to GE). Management style is horrible in some areas. Copies the French style of micro management with multiple people to report to. Never sure who is the one that should make a decision. Most production areas have lots and lots of overtime if that's your thing.
