Pros

Still has European mentality - fair work hours, carryover vacation hours that can't be used, etc. Very clean & safe workplace Respectable employer

Cons

Hogan is starting to bring in GE ideas. Pulling employees from High cost countries - moving to LCC - may be good for short term stock gains, but not sure if it's good for the long haul. Raises are relatively flat - reduces incentive to produce
