Pros

Interesting and innovative product that has a global demand and impact. Work life balance is good. Market for their product is

Cons

The RTX/Collins Salt Lake City office is a fossilizing business. It's comprised mostly of aloof industry veterans waiting for voluntary layoffs so they can retire with a tenured payout. The greater company has expressed that it is not interested in expanding the technology this office manages. The business unit itself does not generate a large amount of cash. Digitization and telework has pushed workflow to other sites and associates rely on internal "gig work" to stay busy. Business unit is nebulous and without direction. Decisions are poorly made and transparency is minimal. Finger pointing is the cultural norm when problems arise. Tenured employees are frustrated by change. Other office locations within the division seem more organized and direction.

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
