Pros

-Decent pay but lower compared to industry - Flexible schedule depending on your supervisor and manager - Interesting industry to work for - Some people are nice and friendly

Cons

- The advancement of your career DOESN'T depend on your performance, results or work ethic, it depends on your relationship with the supervisor and manager. You need to suck up to higher ups before even moving forward. - Very toxic and stagnant environment - Growth is almost non-existent -Ancient technology - Most young, career driven individuals doesn't last more than 1 year in this place - Efficiency of processes is so low because management are NOT open to any new ideas or new processes which can be very frustrating for the people doing the actual work. - Different rules apply to different people depending on your supervisors - Very old school bureaucratic environment - Some of the people are peacocks and hard to work with - So many empty promises -0 accountability, mistakes done by higher ups are ultimately pinned down to the people below. There were instances where mistakes were found and occurred years ago but was somehow the associate's fault who just started. - Zero training - Poor quality of documentation to work with and primitive processes - Managers don't know what they are doing at times and demands associates to figure everything out. - Unfortunately some supervisors are condescending, unfair, sneaky and hateful. But there are other supervisors who were the coolest and fun to work with. - Politics exists everywhere but the negativity and frustration in this place is unbearable and super real that is why young talents leave within a year or two. - Overall toxic company culture

Pros

After graduating from college in 2015 I was a little nervous to enter the workforce, but I couldn't have chosen a better company to begin my professional journey than Textron Systems. The company has many wonderful programs and training opportunities for its employees, and the one that I connected with right away was the first year program. Like I said, I was a bit worried about how my first few days would pan out. The first year program provided an almost seamless transition from backpack to briefcase and it allowed me to establish great friendships with my fellow colleagues. Now that I've had some time to grow into my role, I've found that each day presents exciting challenges and opportunities. I'm constantly learning about new processes (internal/external), departmental duties & interactions, build structures, product lines/capabilities and many more fascinating aspects. In terms of the company culture, I have found that Textron Systems commends those who take initiative and strive to take on new roles & responsibilities. The people are very friendly, hard-working, and dedicated to their work and relationships. Here are some more highlights to reference: -Textron Systems falls within the large conglomerate of Textron. Because of this, there is massive potential to move around as much as you'd like throughout your career. -Working for a company as prestigious as Textron Systems is intrinsically rewarding, and the importance of the products we sell drives the hard-work and passion put forth each and every day. -Textron Systems is growing at an exciting rate so there's plenty of opportunities for career advancements and fascinating growth opportunities.

Cons

I have no cons to report for working at Textron Systems.

Pros

The actual job was fine, depending on your department and your coworkers. There was some flexibility to move to other departments if your current department wasn't a good fit.

Cons

AAI Corporation was acquired by Textron and the culture has been shifting ever since. You have employees that have been there for years upset with the new culture Textron is implementing.
