Pros

There is a lot of diversity of work at Ball. Ball recognizes that it needs to catch up with the rest of the industry and is doing all it can to integrate more advanced ERP and MRP sysems into daily processes. There are many projects at Ball that have a very high technological content, and are fun and challenging to be part of.

Cons

My biggest complaint with Ball Aerospace is the lack of leadership. The Vision and Mission statements are slogans that mean nothing, and can't be measured. Employees do not have a sense of how what they are working on effects the bottom line, or the strategic direction of the company. While Ball is doing well at integrating more advanced ERP and MRP systems they do not follow through with effective training, so the tools languish.

Pros

Amazing mentors, fantastic work life balance, and challenging and interesting work. Best place I could’ve asked to launch my career. This could very well be group/department dependent though, I think I got super lucky there with my manager, mentors, and team.

Cons

Almost all benefits got worse after BAE acquisition.
