Not terrible, but things could be better

Pros

The people that work around you are very supportive. Direct managers are helpful and listen to input. There is no one looking over your shoulder demanding work. Self motivated personalities will excel here. The benefits for full-time employees aren't terrible.

Cons

Corporate places unrealistic goals to meet. They say you can earn bonuses, but even if everyone worked 60 hours a week the goals wouldn't get met. The system is misaligned, and instead of fixing from the bottom to make process more productive and beneficial the focus is to hit the numbers regardless of how. It never feels like corporate cares about their workers, just the numbers and they will do whatever it takes to meet them. Hard to move up within the company because training is lacking. You are barely trained for your position and then never taught anything beyond.

Why I worked at Ducommun

Pros

Start out at $10 an hour now with raises every 6 months until you top out at your pay scale. That usually takes 4-5 years

Cons

They push teamwork and listening as what they are really good at but they have a long ways to go.
