Business Outlook

Pros

. Great working environment . Good pay . Descent Benefits . Military Appreciated

Cons

. Leadership manipulates employees by instilling fear. . Blatant nepotism . Higher Education is not considered or appreciated by some. . Favoritism is also blatant. . Diversity only at the bottom. The majority of the leadership are local Caucasian men who share the same values and beliefs. Anything deviating from that is not welcome. That goes for other Caucasian or race for that matter. . This results to an unhappy and unwelcoming work environment for many.

Pros

Seemed like an acceptable place for a couple months. Good salary and health benefits are very good.

Cons

The absolute worst company I have ever worked for, hands down. ALL Senior Management in Appleton should be replaced.

Pros

To be involved in the making of such an excellent product Gulfstream offers great pay and benefits Savannah is a small town and Gulfstream benefits/discounts are offered everywhere The hourly employees (the foundation of this company) are AWESOME!

Cons

Culture is not work life balance Archaic technology Hypocrisy at the highest levels Complete disrespect toward hourly employees evidenced by the absolute worst time keeping system ever...and they know its bad but forces it on employees anyway NO FLEXIBILITY, although they will sell you differently Corruption at Director level with constant jockeying of position and personal agendas Undercurrent of fear because if you don't drink the kool aid, you will be shown the door Stuck in a time warp...in a bad way
