      Pros

      Name recognition. The brand name carries quite a bit of weight when approaching customers. This helps in high dollar and high profile competetive offerings... nobody ever got fired for buying GE. Not a bad place to be in a tough economic environment. It is also a pretty good resume builder... Fortune continues to rank it tops in management development and best managers.

      Cons

      "What have you done for me lately" culture. Nobody celebrates the successes and everybody points out the faults. In addition, this culture is a very cover your butt mentality. Meaning, corporate climbers are everywhere looking to throw someone else under the bus to cover their own.

      Jeff Immelt was a breath of fresh air after Jack Welsh.

      Pros

      Opportunity for different interesting assignments. Pay and medical are better than most large companies. Employee morale was improved after Jack Welsh left as CEO. The variety of different equipment worked with and the different students I was able to train kept my employment interesting. I trained Navy Petty Officers on AEGIS, Shield of the Fleet on several different systems. Also, NASA radar technicians on MOTR, Multiple Object Tracking Radar after the tragic Challenger Space Shuttle accident. My previous RCA employment was counted as seniority towards retirement when a contract was acquired. As a retiree, I am grateful that I stayed the course and made it,

      Cons

      Neutron Jack came in and wiped out 35%. of the staff. Remainder had to become overachievers.

      GE Commercial Distribution Finance - Not an employer of Choice.

      Pros

      It is a large, well known company, if that is important to you. Their benefits are good, but they are on the expensive side for employees. Their management conforms to the GE Mold or they are quickly replaced. If you like the mold, it could be the place for you.

      Cons

      It is not a healthy work environment. Employees there work in continual fear of when the axe is going to fall and they will be terminated with out any forewarning or clear explanation.
