Kaman Aerospace reviews

- Hourly employees make OT; salaried do not; salaried tend to be very overworked - Not many details provided on benefits and retirement - Impossible to take a day off - Direct employees paid 1/5 - 1/4 the amount that contract employees are paid to perform the same job functions - Salary is very low; not competitive with other manufacturing/engineering firms - No individual PCs; shared server with low-performance connecting box; frustrating to use on a daily basis

Ever since the company became part of a corporation, it becomes a numbers game. Upper management stops caring about the people - manufacturing is asked to break record numbers every quarter while internal departments are asked to perform duties well beyond their job titles so another person doesn't need to be hired. Manufacturing managers are allowed to dip into our profits in order to ship parts on our dime in order to meet month end goals. Because of the intense pace our manufacturing team is required to make, the quality of the product decreases however upper management doesn't seem to care and they continue to let this happen. There is a vast amount of turnover within all departments which is due to the pressure of the job and the very noticable lack of fair play. Compared to other aerospace companies in the area, almost all departments are paid significantly less than the market average.
