Approachable staff
Jr. Credit Analyst - General Motors (GM) Financial (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 20 January 2019
GM supports a positive work environment where everyone is encouraged to work as a team, ask questions, and ultimately contribute towards a safe and fun work environment for each of us to come to work to each day and put out best foot forward.
Pros
good management
Cons
limited overtime opportunities
It was a good place to work at....
Process Engineer (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 15 January 2019
Can't say much....not sure who's reading. Just google GM Oshawa in the news and you'll find out all you need to know. It was a decent place to work but they slowly eroded benefits and DB pension over the last few years.
Fast Paced Factory Environment
Production Team Member (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 15 January 2019
Working on the line has its pros and cons. Pros being that once you learn the job it becomes extremely easy, cons being a boring and repetitive job. starting salary is good and increases from there.
very difficult to work there
Labourer (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 13 January 2019
The jobs are very hard on your body, care more about profits then the people that work for them. I learned how to be somewhere else in my head while carrying out my duties as a worker. I presently have a job that challenges me and makes me use my head, this is a job i very much like and am enjoying going to work and completing this assignment daily. The moral since the announcement makes it bitter sweet. I finally have a job after 30 years that I truly enjoy even tho it is physically hard on my body after 30 years of repetitive line work.The most enjoyable part of the job is the many people I have worked and become friends with.
Pros
making something. great pay, benefits, pension
Cons
no job security, very demanding
Great Place to work

GM was a great place to work and make an excellent wage.
They have good benefits and great Union Representation.
The company tries to adhere to any special requests.
Factory work causes strains on the body.
Shiftwork gets more difficult for most people as you age.

Good place to work,treated fairly
Maintenance Supervisor (Current Employee) – St.Catharines – 31 December 2018
Generally a good place to work. I have been treated fairly by all members of managment I have reported to.The hourly employees on machining and Assemby lines, the tradesman have bee a pleasant surprise.As a supervisor not employed at GM I heard the stories of a lazy and spoiled workforce.My experience in the 12 yrs at GM with hourly ee's has been very positive, I find them professional and committed to Safety and Quality.
Pros
Good pay, fair treatment
Cons
Lots of hours

Exciting at Dealership level jobs
Marketing Analyst (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 4 December 2018
Working at General Motors is a great way to learn about the automotive industry, lot of new innovations. Based on your role, if you are in the field as a travelling District Manager you will learn about how marketing programs that are received by the purchasing public. At head office, you will have a chance to learn how business processes and analysis can make a large impact on the lives of employees at dealerships nationwide.
Pros
Great room for advancement if you are mobile
Cons
If you have a field job, can be away from home a lot leading to a work/life imbalance

People are great
Machining, Assembly Team Member (Former Employee) – St. Catharines, ON – 3 December 2018
fair pay for fair days work. Can be rewarding if you are able to learn a variety of different job operations. Health and safety a top priority. New hires as of three years ago started at a graduated wage. Have no idea what they are earning now.

Active workplace
Body Shop (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 2 December 2018
It can be a cool place to work, it all depends on what location you get put or who your working with. If you are paired up with the right group of people it can be a fun place to work.

GM Oshawa is a challenging and diverse workplace
Shift Leader (Current Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 1 December 2018
Based on the announcement of the plant being "idle" in December of 2019, there is little opportunity for growth, advancement or future opportunities at the Oshawa Assembly Plant.

Fun place to work and great people
Bilingual Wear & Tear Collections Agent (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 27 November 2018
Lack of structure or accountability
Management is sometimes too lenient with employees and does not like to "point fingers" which results in stagnant behaviour where change does not occur or improve.
