Pros

There are no Pros to working at this facility and company.

Cons

If you are applying for a management position beware. If you like to work in a political environment with a lot of back stabbing, lying and unethical situations going on then this is the place for you. If leadership does not like a decision you made then they will just fire you without a logical reason. You get no support from leadership to do your job. Leadership tells you to be an independent manager but they do not want you to be an ethical proactive thinking individual. Leadership likes people who do no work or does very little work and they do not like people who are overachievers in their jobs. They do not like when problems are pointed out to them and there are many problems and issues in the organization. Leadership lies to your face. They tell you one thing and then say another behind your back. If you enjoy your mental and physical health then do not apply in any capacity of a management position.

Pros

GD - OTS - Lincoln is the best at what they do. They make high quality, high reliabilty filament wound composites for the most demanding applications. They are very stable and have a strong local management team. Good people to work with.

Cons

GD - OTS - Corp is another story. There is a lot of kick down, kiss up going on. Executives surround themselves with siccophants and are unable to make informed decisions. Also, one cannot progress in ones career without being on the "right list." It severely limits opportunity for advancement.

Pros

Average pay. Easy dress code. Sometimes free apples.

Cons

This company treats contract employees with very limited respect and truth. As a senior engineer, I was made to report to every junior engineer in the department and the test technicians too. Consequently, I was unable to refuse anyone's advice on how to do my own work, and had to eat a lot of crap. But I got it done. The dept. manager never told me anything, no matter how I asked. I was on my own with 5- 10 bosses, including his ineffectual self. The personnel department started out being mean, and they declined to actively humiliating me using a 25-year old girl. After I delivered the design and all the 100 page documents, the contract was ended remotely, without even a thank you or an email or a phone call. So, I would never recommend this place to any engineer with self respect. I don't know how they treat permanent personnel- they all seemed jumpy. No one out of all my managers and coworkers, would acknowledge any email I sent. There were several marginal employees with psychiatric problems, that I was unable to defend myself from. This contract was not great for my career or my happiness.
