Pros

Pay is OK but benefits have eroded greatly since Honeywell took over Allied Signal. People are friendly & helpful. Unlimited overtime (if that's what you want).

Cons

Worst mentoring ever. Absolutely no help from managers, supervisors or workflows. No room for advancement. Only outside supervisors hired in the past 5 years (with no previous Aerospace manufacturing background). Management has lost focus on the big picture and is only interested in metrics. They push very hard for overtime, yet they have no idea where that time is spent. The result is that the same people abuse the overtime when there is no work to justify it. Huge emphasis on safety & improvement ideas, but this is only to pad the metrics for a manager or director. Immediate supervisor really clueless and rarely gives positive feedback. Very demoralizing environment. With the current management it will never realize it's full potential. The current HOS system is a one size fits all and no one there has the guts to tell Mr Cote that guess what, one size does not fit all. I guess that when you have dysfunctional management you cannot trust them to run the show so you have to come up with an act that will satisfy the shareholders. Touche Mr Cote. You are a great ringleader with the circus you call HOS.

Honeywell has a really good early careers program.

If you like upstate New York, then it's a really pleasant place to work.

Pros

Some genuinely nice coworkers, that deserve better. Sometimes provide free food BUT consists of unhealthy options.

Cons

Extremely poor communication from management. Non existent most of time. When they do communicate, you are met w/ lies. Care about profit/numbers at the expense of employee health. Impossible production expectations without enough personnel. Management questions everyone but themselves. Equipment shortage and issues impact production as well. But blame is placed on production staff. Toxic coworkers that will get on the case of new workers for not being robots that operate non-stop. Depressing and loud environment, along w/ possible chemical exposure. Low pay and small raises. HR cares about business needs, not individuals. Stretching required every hour. Optional at first, but then management started enforcing. Computers and systems always slow and having issues. Language barrier. Diversity is great, but this can cause miscommunication w/ those who don't speak good English.
