      GE, Lost its way?

      Pros

      - Diverse work in many businesses, is easier to translate skills from one to another - Lots of on-line training courses available, if time to take them - If you succeed as a manager in GE, can do well in most any company

      Cons

      -TOO lean in almost every business section. Push whos left to meet financial goals with less and less support. Normal managers work week is 55+hrs if you are to succeed, more normal 65+ hrs. - Corporate Arrogance, some times forgets customer - Do more with less, makes cuts in name of six sigma until failure then takes years to correct. - Lost focus on life/work balance, talk a good game but no actions around allowing more normal work week.

      GE has lost it's way

      Pros

      The GE Benefits package in it's entirety remains a solid positive for this large conglomerate. Specifically the pension plan plus the 401k including a 3% employer match are very good parallel benefits. Their Health care program is as good but probably no longer better than other large capitalization stocks.

      Cons

      The Board of Directors of GE and it's 400 officers have systematically damaged the Value as measured by market capitalization ($400BB to $200BB over 11 years) and Reputation of this once great company. The reputational damage can be objectively assessed by looking at the dramatic drop in the Barrons annual rating of the Most Admired Companies where GE dropped from a consistent ranking as #1 to their most recent ranking as #78. This fall from grace has occurred with the vast majority of Sr management and Board of Directors held in place. An amazing example of the lack of integrity and responsibility of the BOD and equally appalling lack of accountability of it's officers.
