Pros

Good benefit's Hangar with climate control Provided Lunch, and coffee when working at remote location in Spaceport, NM. Worked with some really great Technicians

Cons

At best you have a 1 hour commute to work at Spaceport, NM from Las Cruces. Supervision discounts and devalues all technicians prior work experience when brought to them to help support maintenance production and help expedite repair procedures. As well as if you are qualified and licensed to perform any other maintenance procedures or processes that would help time efficiency, they will not be utilized. This is where all proactive, effective, time efficient people who want to think and work together with some ingenuity quite literally go to die. I have never been held up at every step and turn while trying to complete a repair procedure like I have while working at Virgin Galactic and have finished a job, just to turn around and completely undo everything on a constant as I did here. Was instructed that OSHA safety standards did not apply while working on the hangar floor in an industrial area at Virgin Galactic while working at their Spaceport, NM location, such as not wearing steel toed boots in an industrial work area or not wearing a hard hat while the overhead crane is in operation.

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
