Good Job, Bad Managers

Drafter ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For the most part, this was a good job and everyone I worked with was awesome. I made some great friends. I was initially hired on as a Drafter II do just curtain wall. As time went on, I started doing 3D work. When I went to management to get a pay increase, I was denied. They stated them training me was adequate enough payment, disregarding the fact that I studied 3D design in college. It's definitely a buddy buddy place. Pay was okay, life balance was okay.

Cons

Managers bid projects and sometimes give them unrealistic dates of completion. They say they will invest in your future and tuition reimbursement, but when you seek advice on the issue, no one can give you a direct answer and you get the runaround. Definitely a job for those looking to stay long term since the pay growth is incremental. Old guy there name Jim can be every type of "phobic" you can think of. Really need to rein that guy in.

Exciting Technology, Horrible Work Culture

Npi program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to work on the latest and greatest Defense and Aerospace components which are technically challenging and rewarding. Excellent 401k match (10%) and good health insurance. Great resume builder.

Cons

The work culture is horrible causing a lot of stress and thus friction between all employees. Pretty much everyone is disgruntled here. Management staff is senior and stuck to old fashioned ideas. Turnover is high. Not the best payer and with current environment, salaries are frozen. Every process is thickly layered with red tape.
