Pros

Good people and good middle management, it's a mid-sized company that acts like a small company, Senior management is insulated from the actual work. There is negative competition between corp and business units.

Cons

Strange scheme of funding personnel between departments, i.e. my corp position was funded by an operating group.

A rugged stepping stone. Prepare to sink or swim

Pros

Getting your foot in the door is easy. There are a handful of individuals that want to help you, both workers and leads. You can learn quite a bit here. Other than sheetmetal, it seems pretty hard to get fired. Our new GM seems like he kinda cares or at least pretends to care about workers, so thats cool.

Cons

Its hit or miss if you can get in a hanger that will teach you your job. No one cares if you know how to do the job, they just want it done. Leads stress over time and thats all they care about. The leads are also some real dirtbags when it comes to talking behind your back rather than telling you up front. I also have a lead who does not even know some basics of maintenance or paperwork. Work around here can get shady and if you dont conform you will feel the pressure. They shift system is screwed and you never get a passdown from the individual doing the job, just from your lead who has not heard it from the worker but from another lead who never saw the job being done. I just want to learn my job and do well at it, not be in this purgatory type state where I dont get any help and just suffer though it.
