Pros

As a mechanic, there is stable work, and a guaranteed 40hrs a week even when slow. Its either feast or famine. Overtime is abundant and typically mandatory, meaning you have to work at least 8 extra hours a week or be disciplined. The work is good and the training is good. Seems like they'll hire anyone.

Cons

The only reason to work here is to gain experience and seek a better job. Think of Textron Aviation as JV. This company is a classic revolving door. Countless employees have come and gone in my few short years working here. Annual raises are a joke because managers constantly quit, are are terminated, or are rotated to different crews so no one really gets to knows you. The Upper management mentality is that everyone is expendable. Textrons super lean business approach is cutting corners in all the wrong places, from glitchy computer software to tooling that should have been replaced ten years ago.

Pros

The only pro I can think of is the coworkers. They made the job doable and offset the negatives of management.

Cons

Company doesn't care about the engineers. You're just a dollar sign to them. Mandatory overtime and sometimes weekends too. I know engineers here who are doing 70-80 hour weeks. Poor work life balance. Interned with the company in the summer of 2015. Started full-time June 2016. Was laid off last week. Didn't even make it 5 months at this company. This speaks to this company's poor market analysis and planning skills. CEO doesn't care about the engineers, just wants his deadlines met. I would not recommend this company. You are just a warm body that is replaceable here.
