Business Outlook
Pros
This is a large manufacturing company with a wide range of processes from sheet metal forming, extrusion milling, composite layup, to final assembly. There are a wide variety of positions if you have skills that can be transferrable.
Cons
The big one, this is a corporate aircraft manufacturer – a luxury for which companies are being persecuted. The job outlook is very poor. These companies have recurring swings of hiring booms to layoffs. Cessna, and its parent company Textron, all but disbanded the Six-Sigma organization. There’s still a continuous improvement group but it has been weakened.
