I got my GED. My company will pay for me to go to college but they say you've got to work for them for three years after you graduate or you have to pay it all back. I'm not sure what to do because I don't know if this is good thing. What happens if I get laid off or they close? Do I need to pay them back?
Is this a good thing?

Those sound like questions for your employer. Generally, I would expect your accountability only to be based on your actions, not theirs. But if in doubt, clarify with them that if they chose to end the relationship, do they somehow expect you to hold up your end of a deal they reneged on.

In addition to the great answers below -- make sure you understand what the payback rules are on if you are let go with cause. Generally a no-fault exit will not require payback... but being terminated still might. Be sure you understand what conditions will expect payback, then weigh if you can live with that.

Whether you need to repay them if you get laid off (or fired) depends entirely on the agreement you sign. If the company "closes", there'd be no-one to pay back.

Yup this is completely normal to require you to work for the company after you graduate. Only 3 years commitment is great. I would jump on this. As for what happens if you were laid off or fired I would read the fine print and talk to your company in what situations would you be required to pay back the money.

Entirely subjective on your career goals. If you at all see yourself leaving the company within a year or two- it can be a bad decision since you will be stuck with the company for a longer time unless you want to pay back the tuition reimbursement.
If you can reasonable expect to stay at the company for at least until you no longer have to pay them back anything for leaving- then it would be a good thing since you'd have your degree at least partially paid for- depending on how generous their tuition reimbursement benefit is.
Many companies will pay only partial tuition AND require good business justification before you get approved. Make sure you qualify and if you think you'll be at the company relatively long term- it would be a good deal to take in the long run.
