Pros

There can be good culture within some teams.

Cons

The pay, middling benefits, management, turnover rate, staffing, poor timelines. The main negative is pay. I lost purchasing power even after getting the highest merit review in my group. There is no incentive for textron to pay better because they have a stranglehold on Wichita. Do not work here unless you simply want a job and don’t care about being undervalued. Furthermore management made it exceedingly clear we were just numbers to to them. Whole teams gutted to support other groups because they can’t get enough staff. And the brain drain is intense. Knowledge leaves this place faster than it is replaced.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
