Pros

Fellow employees are good to work with. All the overtime a person could ever want. Paycheck has never bounced.

Cons

Management thinks they are so very important that it is an insult to have to deal with the employees that do all of the work.

Pros

not to bad lots of experienced and smart engineers to work around

Cons

I Worked in IT at Ducommun a few years ago. There where a few good employee's there . Management was almost non existent to me half the time and the other half they pretty much just treated me like a kid and would shoe me away and tell me not to do things a certain way. To be honest I felt that a lot of the managers and supervisors at the Tulsa Plant where elitist . SO proud of the fact they went to local colleges and supported football in small town Tulsa that they had become sedentary at their jobs and in their lives. I took this job as a temporary position . Yet they expected me to fix all the problems that the last guy in my shoes caused. Without a budget or any hardware. The server room sits in the attic which had really bad ventilation, They were still running Windows XP machines everywhere. To top that off their Active Directory was a mess. Things where so locked down that you couldn't even use them let alone administer any aid to the computer systems. I mean really what Admin does that ? The humidifier on the floors didn't work half the time. I had people put in help desk tickets for stuff that didn't even have regards to working on their computers. one guy wanted me to show him how to root his android phone "like seriously on the clock". I work in IT I am use to all different kinds of people. but the ask me to do my job without tools and after you tell me to go away then expect it to be done when you want it to is just lunacy. I had another guy who would annoy me with stories about how good a hacker he was in the 90's which was like IDK 20 years ago.... get over it.. I had one manager who I believe actually held any kind of credible college degree and was able to show that in his leadership and his behavior. only 1 out of like 14. Also during that time it was not fully Ducommun yet so the acquisition was not complete. Therefor tones of

Pros

People are friendly and helpful in obtaining information you might need. Upper management tries to keep the employees informed with town hall meetings. Carson location has employee appreciation days with food and entertainment. Company also has a Christmas party for the location is becoming rarer with a lot of companies.

Cons

It seems that most of the positions being filled are for manager positions for supply chain. It seems we have more managers than workers. The lower level positions for accounting/ finance are kept to a bare minimum and a heavy work load is placed on the accounting/ finance personnel. Turn over can be high and burn out is assured.
