Business Outlook
Pros
Kaman Aerospace is constantly hiring, because they are constantly understaffed. Pay is about minimum they can get away with for the positions, but it is a job. There is always work to be done. Great for go-getter types or people who can't sit still behind a desk all day.
Cons
Pay is minimal for a direct hire position ($45k for a starting engineer), but Kaman will pay upwards of $60 an hour for a contractor who can walk away at any point in time. Raises are few and far between, often late, and I have heard at most 1.5%. Management can be very confusing; much time was spent going back and forth on petty issues.
