      Pros

      GE is a large, diverse company, which offers the opportunity to work in a variety of cities and countries, as well as functions.

      Cons

      People at GE work long hours, which makes balancing work and life challenging. 40 hour work weeks are pretty rare.

      Good experience to have on your resume

      Pros

      Great for the resume...people love GE. GE Consumer & Industrial is not a company that people generally want to go to because it is not in a 'sexy' industry. This can be good for those who do chose to work there because they are often times given more responsibility because of the leanness of the organization

      Cons

      The downsides are the poor working facilities and general low morale due to the state of the appliance industry. Not much rehab has been done to Appliance Park and it definitely shows. This type of work environment affects the morale because it indicates that the company is not making it a priority to invest in the well-being of its employees.

      Global company needs philosophy adjustments

      Pros

      Many advancement avenues, availability of professional advancement training, solid financial position. Opportunity to move on, career wise, to other GE business units. International presence gives careers in GE the oportunity to take on work assigments all over the World.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy, very little training for new hires, sink -or-swim placement. The 6 sigma cost containment methodology is applied far too aggressively to its employees, resulting in a widespread loss of morale that makes keeping talented individuals in GE harder. This is evidenced by few employees that remain more than 1 year at my site, the extensive unfilled positions, and the increase numbers of temporary contractors, that probably cost more to keep than regular employees
