Pros
I'm having trouble filling out this section. Most of the "great" reasons to work here are either on the way out the door (good managers are retiring, morale is sinking) , or unavailable to new employees (pension plan has been unavailable for new hires since 2006). Historically we have been a low-risk company, doing everything possible to keep things simple and keep people happy, and happily employed. Past performance does not guarantee future results... I think our production at FlightSafety Simulation (based in Broken Arrow, OK) strikes a great balance between engineering (which constantly sees the need to make it better) and accounting (which constantly requests that we get another one shipped, sooner, cheaper). We build usable, reliable training devices and in general, we respond quickly to customer's requests. Of course your perspective greatly influences your perception of our performance.... if you're a military customer, you'll think we give you the world because we answer your phone calls without a charge number. Corporate management is doing a great job of expanding our services to survive and compete in a global market.
Cons
We didn't used to have to say "teammates are our most valuable resource." When a company feels the need to make this statement, that means it's not obvious enough for employees to figure that part out on their own. The new upper management personnel (I'm speaking locally, not corporately) are egocentric, career-focused, and some of them have anger management issues. Their goals are to make things look good on paper, in the news, etc. but the concern for making things work well within the company is not as high as it should be.
