Pros

I've been with the company for 5 years and there are good people in this company that have devoted themselves to designing some of the Aerospace's best products for our country. I feel great about the end products we design and know my part in our country's defense. That part is good.

Cons

Senior "leadership" does little to help us get the tools we need to do our jobs. Just dealing with the IT department is a perfect example. Upgrading my software was a nightmare and then when I finally got the auth I had to call the Help Desk (known as the "no help desk"). If they really wanted to support me they should a. Answer the PHONE b. Have techs that are qualified to support me c. Call me back like they said they would in a timely manner. So don't complain about my turnaround time when the company doesn't even have a help desk that helps its employees.

Pros

The non-management professionals help keep the lights on.

Cons

Stuck between management that puts up more roadblocks than they remove and a union shop that is more interested in their hours and compensation than making a successful company, it can be a difficult place to work.
