Pros

In the past 2-3 years the company took notice of lower/middle management positions. Diversity and inclusion strategies to invite communication and provide and open work experience. Changes needed to be made in key and critical departments we depended on during covid. -toxic work environments -insufficient management. either we didnt have a manager we needed, or the manager didn't have the support they needed. whether its planning, engineering, leads, lower management. And in any company, there is a buddy system. Changes in our Long beach and Brunswick locations. -Cost Related -Moving forward from old to new/current models

Cons

Regardless of these changes, people are always afraid of what ifs. What you'll find is you d**ned if you do and you're d**ned if you don't. Accepting management ideas from other locations and departments allowed us to find where a lot of issues were. BUT. During covid, like any company there were layoffs. Soon after we had alot of demand and not enough manpower. Job postings were made to accommodate to the public vs the skills that were required. With this new issue, lower and middle management learned to adjust and implemented positions to engage with the public demand and tranquilize any intimidation there may be about working with an aerospace company like Gulfstream.

Pros

-Work in an air conditioned hangar! -All the tools and support needed to do the job -Excellent training available -Good safety culture -Fairly easy work -Lots of opportunities to grow

Cons

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

Gulfstream is a good company, I would come back to it. Can be a fantastic work life balance. PTO and benefits are decent. Can be an excellent career builder if you have connections and play your cards right. They can pay for your masters. Self-starters are rewarded and recognized,

Cons

-Ultimately, your experience heavily depends on your specific group—and some can be incredibly profane and toxic. If you are trying to implement an improvement but it doesn't agree with leadership, you can be harassed. -You might find yourself fourth in a long line for a position that only opens once a year; many jobs already have a person picked before they are ever posted. This isn't new information.
