Some very good people in the working ranks and even some in levels of Sr management

Cons

This place is not competitive with other companies on cost and senior leadership staff is always painting a pretty picture.

Business Outlook

Pros

The job is basic, routine, repetitive and not complex in any way. You receive exposure of working in a manufacturing environment, and assembling aviation parts.

Cons

While the job is easy to get by, it can be tiring and has very little room for improvement. The department supervisor is over-reaching and aggressively micro-manages people. As a result, I was let go due to less work orders despite putting in the all the hard work to finish off backlog orders during my time there.

Business Outlook

Pros

They pay you on time.

Cons

Old, old technology. Capital equipment is out of date and unsupported. Ridiculous IT policies and antique computers. No cell phones allowed anywhere in the building. Much of the staff are old-timers running out the clock. Half the building is empty from it's heyday in the 60's, when it wasn't owned by Kaman. This company is keeping products alive for the government that were developed in the 80's and their reputation in the defense community is in tatters due to quality issues.
