Business Outlook

Pros

Kaman Aerospace was willing to take risks on inexperienced or entry-level employees.

Cons

Kaman offers very low salaries compared to the market for most positions, and is a stress pressure cooker. Leaving on time will garner the ire of your coworkers, though very few white collar employees are paid hourly, so no overtime pay or other compensation.
