Pros

Very focused on providing finest, life-saving combat vehicles to America and its Allies around the world. Strong Leadership Team. Impeccable core Values. Terrific benefits such as: flexible work schedule, 401K, health and safety record, pay, etc. in midst of major overhaul of facilities, leadership programs, and talent programs.

Cons

Dependence on government defense contracting sometimes creates swings in workforce dynamics. That same dependence results in a lot of effort geared towards compliance.

Competitive salary, benefits and family work life.

Do not manage union workers and their performance well. Place burden of managing UAW workers on engineers who work with them on a daily basis. Not the engineers responsibility.
