Good place overall
General Production Labourer (Former Employee) - Ingersoll, ON - 11 January 2023
i worked there before the transition to the electric vehicle. however, it was still an alright job, was during covid so hours were inconsistent with intermittent layoffs. once hired full time wage is quite reasonable, work can be monotonous.

GM Family First
Journeyman Electrician (Current Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 1 January 2023
General Motors has a slogan of “GMFamilyFirst” which couldn’t be further from the truth. The benefit package is the worst I’ve ever heard of and doesn’t kick in for a year and a month from start date, mandatory 6 days a week with pressure to start earlier or stay late everyday. Your better to call in sick than ask for a day off, there isn’t a reason in the world which will satisfy management. Overall I wouldn’t recommend working for GM unless your okay with having no work life balance and being taken advantage of at every opportunity.
Pros
Good pay
Cons
Everything other than pay

Not bad just not for me

Just can’t work hours and hours of doing the same thing over and over I know some people can but it’s very repetitive and gets old quick so it wasn’t for me
Pros
Lots of facilities nice coworkers
Cons
Long hours sometimes work 6 days a week

The grass is greener...
Tradesman (Current Employee) - St. Catharines, ON - 5 December 2022
Every place Ive worked has its pros and cons, and this place is no different. The pay is fantastic, you're out of the elements, benefits are really good. I think the worst thing has to be the over the line safety ( which overall is not a bad thing)and the legacy perspective that this place "used to be better". I truly hope this place stays open because id love to retire from here. apply, you will NOT regret it.
Pros
great money, benefits, bonus.
Cons
lots of available ot, inside all day(no sunshine for you), safety up the ying yang

Busy and repetitive
Production Worker (Former Employee) - Oshawa - 5 December 2022
Very repetitive. You will be doing the same job constantly. Working the same muscles over and over. Alot of people would get injured. Not the best morale. They make you work almost every weekend for overtime.
Pros
Benefits and pay was ok
Cons
Repetitive. hard on your body, working weekends

Production Assembly Worker (Current Employee) - St. Catharines, ON - 13 November 2022

It was a job
Red Seal Journeyman Electrician / industrial/ construction/maintenance (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 5 November 2022
I retired in 2009 so a lot has changed with GM With the closing of GM in 2018 or 2019;they were able to remove the control of the union . Which in the long run was a good thing we have a great work force in Canada and the union should have been a lot more flexible with there trades the wages were above average at that time but pension was poor .o for one worked a lot of over time which I was never paid for .l believe they have gone to a better system now

Terrible Management, especially for trades. Very cut throat and vindictive fronting leaders.
Industrial Electrician (Current Employee) - Ingersoll, ON - 2 October 2022
When it was CAMI, place was very good, wages were competitive and work was rewarding. Since GM took 100% control place is aweful. Front line management is useless and very vindictive. Been here for 30+ years but not a place I would recommend to anybody. 3 shifts for trades and you can make better money in any place across Ontario. Just a job now!
Pros
None
Cons
Management, GM greed.

Generally a good place to ride out your work life
Maintenance Electrician (Current Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 29 August 2022
Good place with loads of support from coworkers and supervisors as long as you show some initiative. Work-life balance is a bit of concept that is overlooked and sometimes ignored. Work is easy, and sometimes a little dull and boring. Can be fast paced at times of multiple breakdowns but generally an easy go.
