Brutal, but gone from being hit by the train to being the conductor.

Pros

Fair amount of holidays. 3 weeks vacation after 5 years. If you do your job and don't (complain like a female dog) too much it's not such a bad place to work. If you have a fair amount of people skills you will know when your on the crap list.

Cons

Very hard to get in the inner circle, unless your a stool pigeon. Too many people always looking to find fault with something or someone. The people who know how to do the job right and just don't, or are too lazy, are the most annoying. A lot of "That's not my job" attitude.

Pros

1:Considerate Owner 2: Used to have a strong company figure head, the responsible level 3

Cons

1: No upper management backing 2: Hired an idiot who has the owner snowballed while he systermatically orcherstrates the firing of hard working key individuals that have loyally served the owner 3: Inexperienced individuals hired to perform duties way above and beyond their capabilities 4: No pay raises unless you perform an act of god 5: The huge turn over in Quality Management due to the inadequcy of a the CEO (I use that title in the loosest of forms) to have the capabilities to hire a individual who is capable and qualified 6: Extremley poor preperation for audits 7: Test records falsified an altered to cover up poor planning of Aerospace parts being processed 8: Would most certainly NOT recommend this facility as a place to work as there is zero stability or future in this company

Great People Stuck in a Dead End

Pros

Great experience building in multiple aerospace processing and testing areas. Pretty hard to get fired unless you wind up on the (crap) list (see cons). Untested self-pay insurance.

Cons

Upper management does not have a regular system in place to rate employees and offer improvement. Workers that are sub par are singled out and put on a sort of "double secret probation". That is until they make a mistake and are kicked out the door. The worker usually never knows that he is on the (crap) list until it is too late. Pay is far below industry average for experienced positions. No regular pay increases or pay structure. Raises are given at owners whim. Owner rants and rages through shop. Governs through fear. Morale is very low. Many great workers are seemingly stuck in this dead end and not appreciated.
