A typical Large corporation focused solely on quarterly profits
Pros
The only thing I can think of that I enjoyed while working here was the team I was apart of. They were great and very helpful while working there. Decent 401k matching, up to 6% which was nice.
Cons
Some say the pay is decent but I believe it is sub-par for the industry. Benefits are lacking as the Healthcare options are pretty expensive for what you get in return. Only two weeks vacation starting out (have to work for them). I worked in a dark windowless room with computer screens all day which takes its toll on you over time. There are really no opportunities for advancement unless you get real close to the management. You can work really hard and put in the extra hours and not get considered for promotions or additional training. Favoritism is highly seen here at the company and management will give more opportunities to those they favor. Also, Layoffs are extremely frequent and its based on quarterly revenue. No one is safe and it comes down to who is the "least" valuable or new in the company. Was there for close to two years and went multiple layoffs. I was eventually laid off while working from home from the pandemic via phone call. When you're out, you're out and that is it, the connection is severed and you're out of the system. I would warn anyone who may be interested in joining Gulfstream to be prepared to encounter countless layoffs and the ever-growing hurdle to make any sort of career advancement within the company.
