Great pay but mandatory OT

UTILITY RELIEF/PRODUCTION OPERATOR (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 1 February 2023

Over all a great place to work if you just want to go to work, load your parts, and push a button until you retire. No chance for advancement and you're only a number.

Pros

Good pay, stable work for the most part

Cons

Horrible management, mandatory overtime, no advancement, only allowed 6 sick days a year or on nate program, benefits are horrible

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

Production Operator (Former Employee) - Oshawa, ON - 27 December 2022

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
