Pros

Cessna was an excellent experience for me, even though our business unit was closed. I learned valuable lessons in Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, and how excellent communication and planning can improve productivity.

Cons

The aircraft industry in general is quite volatile, and employment can be influenced by the fluctuating economy. Our business unit was the first that Cessna had purchased in many years, producing the all-composite TTX. Unfortunately, the turn in the economy all but eliminated sales for this model.
