Textron Aviation reviews

Diversity an issue. Rarely seen a minority in lower, middle, or upper management roles. Very few compliance exceptions. Hard to believe that San Antonio, Orlando, and Mesa don't have qualified Hispanics for supervisory and management positions. Definitely an homogeneous culture. As a Latin American with a Bachelor, MBA and 8 yrs A&P was not able to be promoted from mechanic to supervisor. I gave up after several attempts. Nevertheless, I was called for the interviews. They do have minority clubs in Wichita, which in my opinion are made up for liability purposes by their homogeneous HR dept.

Moral is very low. The company lacks a true leader. The current president cares more about his own publicity than the engagement and development of employees. Sales are down and the only plan the senior leadership has developed centers around hope. The saying throughout the trenches is "Hope is NOT a plan".
