Pros

Good benefits. Has company funded pension plan which is a rarity now. Makes products that are beneficial to our country's defense and to our populace. Good locations and work conditions.

Cons

Old school mentality. Has a lot of dinosaurs sitting in senior management positions that are just obstacles to innovation and progress. Has a lot of retired military officers that think they are still on active duty and should be treated like they still are. A significant majority are just marking time and not contributing to new growth for the company. This stifles career progression for those that deserve it and that which would benefit the company. Self-created obstacles prevent and stunt further innovation and growth in new areas.

Pros

Great company and great people. Received continuous on the job training and the company is always reviewing and updating processes.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunities to move up within the company. Salary was only average and raises were minimal. End of the year bonus was good.
