Pros

Universal Avionics (UA) provides a solid and steady place to work. Most departments have a low attrition rate. Management and staff are professional and there isn't much office drama. Privately-owned company. Self-insured. Very nice facility with lots of office space. Plenty of parking.

Cons

This is a very staid company and the pay is abysmal. This is not the place to come for working in a fast-paced, innovative environment. There is little room for career advancement. Promotions seldom occur unless someone has vacated their post by retiring or leaving. There seems to be a perceived division between corporate employees and staff employees, almost like a company "caste system". The benefits are okay, but far from stellar. Tuition reimbursement rates have not kept up with the true cost of education. Medical premiums are high. Did I mention the pay is abysmal?

Pros

Knowledgeable and friendly coworkers. Some of the managers appreciate your contributions.

Cons

Upper management feels disconnected from the workers. Benefits eroding that enticed talent to stay. Hybrid schedule is dwindled down to 1 day in a 9/80 schedule. Health insurance was ok when they covered almost 60$ of it for healthy habits. HR seems to be not willing to help or aid when issues with benefits is pointed out, like insurance not paying for procedures. They will gladly tell you to call the affiliated company that negotiates the bills instead of having an internal person that can help you. Upper management can at times sound like they are not trusting the technical staffers to accomplish their jobs. Predominantly seems to be a cultural barrier due to its predominantly being dished out by a particular group of individuals. Literally heard multiple times a upper manager/chief/staff professional verbally belittle or beat down an fellow coworker. Carrier progression is very slow, the expectation is that you work at a higher level job description for 1 or more years before you get the pay and level promotion.
