Pros

Learn a lot about how a dysfunctional aerospace manufacturing company operates.

Cons

Management makes the environment toxic. The Production manager and Manufacturing manager use intimidation and fear while threatening everyone's jobs on a daily basis to inspire people to work. The production manager calls vendors without first speaking to the buyer and creates problems, causing vendors unwilling to support the buyers requests. There is no training process, first day in and thrown to the wolves with no support. This place is very dysfunctional and very poorly operated. They show no appreciation to its employee's. Pay is minimal, Bonuses are nearly nothing, under 500$ and they expect 12 hours a day with a salaried position, making under 45k per year. I do not recommend this place to anyone joining, there is a reason there is over a 50% turnover rate in the purchasing department and the company as a whole. note* per the ratings review "culture and values", I would rate 0 out of 5 if the option was available.

Pros

Everyone that is under uper management is amazing. They do there best to make sure you are supported for what they can give you. You stay because you love the people you work with.

Cons

They treat employees as thier badge number the same way as a jail/prison does. They don't care what or how much you work or give to the company. EVERYONE is replaceable no matter how long you have worked for them. You get NO support and are expected to go above and beyond with no upper management even caring that is how you work. They only care about there bottom line. If you aren't going to get your EOM dollar value they won't even approve things that you need to be purchased to do your job. They have amazing and loyal employees but the worst upper management above the managers.
