Pros

Family type environment where everyone knows everyone and mostly gets along (non-managers).

Cons

Ha. Where to start... wages are poor at best. If you don't negotiate up front, you'll be stuck without a raise for 2+ years despite increased job responsibilities and good performance. No chance of promotion or lateral job change. Consistent long hours including weekends under high stress environment. High level managers scream (including profanity) at workers. Rules don't apply to everyone and there is definite extreme favoritism throughout the company. Senior management doesn't care about how finances are being spent. $4000 spent on a one day off site meeting, at least $5000 for a VIP event for 30 people, but they can't find a dime to repave the entry driveway with HUGE potholes. Not a penny spent on employees to boost terribly low morale. No t-shirts to celebrate the roll out of the 400th plane or the 1st of a new aircraft, yet those VIPs got embroidered polos and caps! They used to care about the hardworking folks.

Pros

A great company with a family atmosphere where hard work is recognized and rewarded. The aircraft they manufacture are world class and it's exciting to be part of the team that builds them. The recent changes in upper-level management have made a huge difference in the workforce culture. You can learn a trade here and it's one of the few places left where a new employee can come onboard and expect to have a long-term stable career over many years.

Cons

A few toxic disgruntled people from the past still work here and resist any change for the betterment of the company, other employees, or its future.

Pros

Get to work on airplanes

Cons

Toxic Toxic Toxic, main floor management is lazy and caters to his friends, they sit in the office and throw hard workers under the bus, to make themselves looks better. Very unprofessional and unorganized, they loose parts and destroy things and cover them up. I saved building from burning down because of faulty wiring in aircraft. They were like thanks I guess.
