Pros

Flexible work hours (during non-close hours), trainings (non-work related), unlimited vacation (really depends on the manager or the team), relocation bonus

Cons

Management: Rude and clueless senior and executive management who do not care about their teams and will blame you for not have the job done even if things were out of your control. Work: Unrealistic work goals, redundant work processes, 15+ hour daily work weeks during close (Accounting/Finance groups), work on federal holidays and weekends, blame throwing on each other is part of the culture. Only certain teams are helpful while the rest feel like sharks in a tank. Benefits: Pay is extremely low compared to market average and raises are no more than 2%. Forget about being paid for further education or raises after achieving them. Medical is high deductible only and not affordable to most. Have to pay for monthly parking in the building. Career: GE Global ops started off with 1000+ employees in 2016 and now there less than 200 left in the center. You can imagine what the turn over rate is . Changing the teams is a strict process (18+ stay in current position required) with no possibilities for raises or promotions. GE's current reputation in the market has completely deteriorated so recruiters and companies know that you are desperate to get out. More importantly, the company overall is shrinking down at a massive rate and businesses are being closed down to cut down costs. Layoffs and firings are expected more in the upcoming year.
