Pros

Commitment to furthering education and EH&S are very strong. Work hours are decent for manufacturing outfits. Salaried workforce is often eligible for at least 1X overtime pay.

Cons

Firm conducts regular employee surveys, promises to take action on shortcomings, and seemingly never does. Support for personal growth is at odds with a general lack of advancement opportunity. Very rarely do I observe people promoted from within and when I do, it tends to be those in mid to upper management. New hires are often brought in from the outside and offered top level positions that appear out of thin air. Genuine continuous improvement at this company is still in its infancy. ACE could be so much more but right now its bark is far worse than its bite. Management doesn't support it enough. I question sometimes if they even understand it. Annual review process is a box check. I performed better one year than another, by the numbers, yet still received a lower overall score.

Pros

The Employee Scholar Program is awesome. They pay for everything and you can take classes in anything you want, not just courses related to your current position. Working for UTC provides you with the opportunity to see different business because they own 8 different subsidiaries, but still work for the same company. All the companies are market leaders and provide challenging work.

Cons

All the busineses are within the manufacturing industry so if you are looking for something other than that, this is not the place. There is really no interaction with consumers or the public. Only business to business/government. UTC also has an aging workforce that have been with the company for many years. This is a good thing which shows loyalty to the company but they are so they are stuck in their ways. It's hard for young workers to adjust and accept that their coworkers and supervisors just are not ready for change.
