Pros

If you get a good manager/group head, you have a chance of success. Number of paid holidays are good.

Cons

Middle management is terrible. They micromanage and make single decisions that should be made by the boards. Latest survey got the salary exempt folks under 6 years a full extra week of vacation. You know to retain talent... If you have been there less than 18 years, they now bump up the vacation addition every two years instead of the old 6 yr plan. If you have 18 or more, you get nothing. I guess they don't think people above 6 years are going to leave so no extra for us. And pay raises... The promotion budget now pulls from the raise budget so is there are promotions in your leaders unit, the amount for raises drops. Promotions are hard to come by unless you are good old boy network or dei.

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
