Upper Management - Aircraft Technician General Atomics Employee Review

**Limited Career Advancement** Internal promotions are rare, and there’s little transparency in the selection process. Many employees feel stuck in their roles with no clear path forward. **Minimal Pay Growth** Raises beyond the standard 2% annual increase are almost nonexistent, making it difficult to keep up with cost-of-living increases. **Resistance to Flexible Scheduling** Senior management refuses to consider alternative work schedules like 4/10s, despite the potential benefits for productivity and work-life balance. **Poor Communication** Decisions are often made behind closed doors, with little to no input from employees. Leadership provides vague or unclear direction, leading to confusion and inefficiency. **High Turnover** Due to limited career growth and low pay, many talented employees leave for better opportunities elsewhere, resulting in frequent knowledge loss and instability. **Lack of Recognition** Hard work often goes unnoticed, with minimal appreciation or incentives to motivate employees. **Bureaucratic Red Tape** Processes are slow, overly complicated, and bogged down by excessive approvals, making even simple tasks take longer than necessary. **Low Morale** A combination of poor management, lack of growth opportunities, and low pay contributes to low employee engagement and dissatisfaction. **Outdated Technology/Processes** Resistance to modernizing tools and workflows makes work inefficient and frustrating. **Favoritism** Promotions and special projects often seem to go to a select few rather than being based on merit. Health insurance is rather high in comparison to competitor companies.
