Business outlook
Pros
After 15 years tenure, the people continue to be my best reason to work for General Motors. Certainly as an engineer the continuous challenge of new vehicle development and alternative propulsion systems keeps me enthusiastic.
Cons
The whole global economic crisis: rising energy prices, commodity and steel price inflation, the possibility of a deep global recession are headwinds out of GM's control. These forces additively amount to uncertainty, constantly imploding human resources, and tough actions which we don't enjoy making. Job security does not exist for my generation, If the playing field was level and we didn't have the costs of all the benefits and unions and all that, it'd be a different world
