      Working in the World of GE.

      Pros

      GE is a global network of professional opportunity. The company affords great benefits - including a flexible work schedule that enables one to truly work towards a healthy work/life balance. This has been key for me personally. I have been with GE for 6 years and was able to work from home for 4 of those.

      Cons

      Can be highly political, very intense...if one does function well in a pressure cooker then this probably wouldn't be the best work environment for him/her. As mentioned above the having the flexibility to work from how was a great perk. However, the downside is that there is never really a day off...it's a highly competitive work environment and it can be somewhat relentless. It was not uncommon to have to address work issues and to work on holidays, weekends and vacations. No one in the business ever truly shuts down or turns off work.

      Pros

      The potential to advance is there if one is willing to work for it. They train for the job, and the pay is awesome, as well as the benefits and extras. They are supportive in and out of the job. It is a challenging job, but not so challenging that one cannot learn to do it. It is a very friendly and fun atmosphere. Probably the best job I have ever had.

      Cons

      The only downside I have found is that they don't coordinate to have the same technician on the job. I have ended up starting half way through someone else's job and it does get confusing.

      Pros

      Opportunties to contribute and learn are deep and numerous. Technology which to me, is the foundation of GE, is still the core of the business.

      Cons

      It is not just GE Energy that has the issue. The focus at GE is always about money and not enough about people and process. It is the wrong focus. The money will follow if we spend the time to fix the processes and value the people. GE Energy is one of the most profitable businesses in the company right now which while we should feel good about our success, we are pressured EVERYDAY to carry the burden of "protecting the company". The heart of the business is execution to our customers and those managing pricing and finance are considered the "unsung heroes" while people in the field and those who support them are being hounded about cost cuts, travel restrictions, cost of quality reductions, etc. etc.
