Sexist and stagnant - Anonymous employee Duncan Aviation Employee Review

People stay in their positions for so long, there is not much opportunity for growth or upward movement unless you can work on aircraft. Managers pick favorites and focus a lot of time and effort and budget to create opportunities for the select few while others fall to the wayside. There is a lot of animosity between various departments. Too many people have worked together for too long and there always seems to be some kind of problem between individuals or from the past the inhibits people from working effectively together to achieve a positive result for Duncan Aviation as a whole. All our systems are from the 1990s. We still use Green Screen (which I remember using to play Oregon Trail). They invest a bunch of money in programmers and IT to support this back asswards system that is rapidly becoming even more irrelevant than it already is and it can't adapt to current technology. Not to mention, it is primarily designed around supporting aircraft in-house. You have no idea how this focus inhibits other departments from growing and competing in a marketplace that is so much more technologically advanced than we will ever be. And there is lesser value placed on the efforts of other departments that don't work directly on aircraft because of course aircraft jobs = more money so in comparison, other departments efforts look small and subsequently there is never any investment made to help those departments grow or establish themselves as a relevant industry business. It is a hopelessly sexist environment. Like I've said, so many of the employees have worked at this company for decades, and aviation was a different culture 20, 30, 40 years ago. That kind of perception and treatment of women has carried through to today. Not to mention only 2% of the workforce is female.
