Pros

Great benefits at a low cost to employee, Worldwide name recognition, Very diversified company

Cons

Too much overkill...ie., too much time wasted on some overkill positions from people trying to justify their positions and existence within the company, "Permit to Work", "JSA's", "RWA's", "SRA's", "Scorecards", "NPF Scores" on and on and on. To conduct a 10 minute job, this administrative overhead takes that 10 minute job and turns it into a 2 hour job, thereby costing the company money as contractors sit around waiting to get started to do the task they were hired to do. Management actually stated outloud "I Just Don't Know How Anything Gets Done Without All These Meetings"!! Read that again, that's not a typo. That's our actual mentality, and they wonder why people won't stay. Their attitude is that you shouldn't have a family or life outside of GE, that you should willingly devote your extra time on your low salary for the good of "The Business".

The people at GE Transportation are great to work with -- very supportive and want to help you advance your career. Accessible upper management as well.

Lots of bureaucracy. Promotions are not always given out on the basis of quality of work.
