Pros

At Astronics Test Systems in Irvine, the management is as fair and understanding as any I have worked for. They have their issues (like any company) but there is a straight-forward effort to get the job done and make sure the customer is happy. They try their best to treat the employees with as much respect as I've seen as other companies (more actually). I'm pretty happy here. Minor regrets, but honestly, they are no worse than any other company I've worked for in the last 20 years. I can't compare them to the amazing benefits of an older Boeing or similar company. But they are decent for the most part.

Cons

The health insurance costs have jumped this year (about 100% more than last year). And the health benefits have been reduced.

This company is a train wreck, the only way management tries to control costs is by hiring and firing employees.

Business Outlook

Pros

Potential is there if there is a change of management. Current management is only interested in reporting false profits so they can earn a bonus.

Cons

You will most likely be laid off due to loss of a customer, absolutely no ability by management to bring in new business or develop existing business lines.
