Pros

- Four-tens great for work life balance - Being indoors is rare in aviation - Great products, legacy pedigree and industry reputation - Everyone is kind and helpful, great support systems for employees. Leadership cares about issues - Amazing training program. New employees learn very well here - Many career paths for advancement in both the hourly and salary side, if you're motivated and skilled

Cons

- Very old facility full of roaches and filth - The union leadership is both hostile and incompetent, adding to a bad working culture on both the hourly and salaried side. Shop stewards hardly know the CBA, the leaders filch dues, and they get nothing done. Union doesn't care about the company, only self-preservation - Management often in a state of panic. Rapidly shuffling managers makes the work pace chaotic and stressful - The bathrooms are criminally filthy and undermaintained - Nothing gets fixed, everything is old and run-down - Extremely cumbersome legacy processes and multi-department checklists bog everything down in the multi-year timeframe

Pros

4 days a week schedule, solid PTO, and a week off given by the company during Christmas.

Cons

Company pushes innovation and groundbreaking work, but that is only for a select few working special projects. Generally, you are working on outdated systems and technology that is 5-10 years behind what is currently available. Training is nonexistent for outdated software systems and there is no goal to push for updated tech or software to compete. Pay was subpar, they intentionally try to undercut you when giving bonus or pay raises. Best option is to work here for a few years, leave to another company for a few years, and come back to get a competitive pay raise. Don't expect to connect with co-workers as most seem to just want to come in collect a check and leave.
