Pros

GE holds the FMPs in high regard. Almost all senior leaders are FMP grads and will want to help you succeed. The path to high levels of management is laid out, and is attainable, but you must literally give your life to GE to get it.

Cons

People at GE do not know how to relax. They are very concerned with the numbers of hours they work, often staying at the office doing literally nothing so that people can see that they are there late. They love to brag about how many hours they work. A disturbing majority of the Finance employees have either never been married, or are married to someone in GE.

Pros

1. The GE brand 2. Benefits 3. Six Sigma Training

Cons

Horrible work culture at the Grain Valley Campus 1. Every employee only care for themselves. If a new employee ask for assistance or guidance, the more senior employee will not help, citing direct orders from the Manager to do so. When confronted, all the Team Lead or the Manager say is "Shut up and get your job done, else we'll get someone else to do your job". 2. Back-stabbing is a norm and is accepted by management. 3. No team spirit within the GETS work groups. Incompetent Management at the Grain Valley Campus 1. Managers will not come down to the field to talk and encourage employees. 2. Favoritism is rampant. It's about how you butter-up to your manager. 3. Team leads will throw any team member 'under-the-bus' just to save their own jobs. 4. Ridiculous expectations. Everything should have been done 'yesterday'.
