      Textron places a large gap between management and hourly employees.

      Pros

      The medical benefits were very good and there was a retirement plan that was fair. It was a union shop which gave better security, at least while it was still in operation.

      Cons

      The last few years they quit matching stock options. We went through 5 plant managers in 4 years before the doors closed in 2009. Textron needs to focus more on just the bottom dollar.

      Misleading entry promises, failed expectations and finally total betrayal.

      Pros

      The people and employees of Textron are friendly, kind and generally nice to be around. They are understanding if you have a problem and willing to help if they can. It is a very nice place to come to work. The company is very cognizant of work environment and does this well. Mistakes are tolerated and re-mediated.

      Cons

      - Advancement in technical rates is poor, growth is zero. The performance evaluation procedure is a complete waste of time. The human resources employees are outsourced and do not work for Textron. - Excessively process oriented, to the point where it is difficult to accomplish daily tasks. - Middle management is a class on its own, most of them never did any actual work. - Poor performers are impossible to get rid of. - Salary is not market competitive for experience. - Layoffs are handled poorly. - Two layers of management has become the norm, an 'administrative' and a technical lead. This means dual the meetings and dual the wasted time.

      Pros

      Friendly and helpful people. Employees have good works ethics.

      Cons

      It's pretty far away from the major cities so commute was longer than I would have liked. Buildings were pretty old.
