Pros

The products that Cessna make is the top in the industry. Many talented people to gain valuable experience in all aspects. A good place to grow as a new graduate or for experience people. The culture is better than most aircraft manufactures. The employees are treated fairly. If you have an office job then your work life balance is better than you can hope for. Cessna is also a good place for non-ambitious individuals.

Cons

Cessna is now owned by Textron and there are some pros and cons. Majority of negativity towards Textron is due to the management and the direction Textron is heading toward. Cessna as its own entity is better off without Textron. If you are thinking about working for Cessna, be ready to be Textron Six Sigma certified which is a bad thing to me. Some people consider TSS a good thing but TSS is over used at Textron and now it is passing down to its subdivision ie. Cessna.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
