Pros

Textron has very capable individuals who are trying hard to do a good job for the customer. Certain locations have excellent facilities.

Cons

Textron is a very process oriented and slow moving company. It lacks market knowledge and is lagging behind its competitors. Management needs to focus the company and determine where to focus its resources.
