Pros

- Diverse work in many businesses, is easier to translate skills from one to another - Lots of on-line training courses available, if time to take them - If you succeed as a manager in GE, can do well in most any company

Cons

-TOO lean in almost every business section. Push whos left to meet financial goals with less and less support. Normal managers work week is 55+hrs if you are to succeed, more normal 65+ hrs. - Corporate Arrogance, some times forgets customer - Do more with less, makes cuts in name of six sigma until failure then takes years to correct. - Lost focus on life/work balance, talk a good game but no actions around allowing more normal work week.
