Pros

I enjoyed my time at Cessna Aircraft. I started at an entry level position and was able to advance quickly. I received a lot of encouragement from management and felt this would be my last job. Cessna supports the growth of its employees in many different areas. Cessna provided health coaches, incentive programs and tuition assistance all aimed at personal growth for the employee. The economy caused Cessna to close the plant I worked in.

Cons

It is a manufacturing facility. If you are not comfortable in this setting then it might not be a good fit for you. Entry level pay was low in my opinion.

Pros

The best reason to work for Cessna is the atmosphere. We have a culture where we try to "do what is right for the airplane." Compared to other companies there is less BS. Cessnans strongly identify with the company. The fact that there is even a term Cessnans should tell you that.

Cons

Working for our parent corporation Textron. Textron does not have the same kind of culture as Cessna. That makes it a very strained relationship. They don't do what is right for the Customers, the Employees or the airplane..... they only do what is right for the bottom line. There is not a term for the people that work for Textron.
