Pros

Not much left at this point. If I had written a review before the UTC merger (for Rockwell Collins) I would have had plenty of good to say.

Cons

After the UTC merger: 1) "synergies" were just a nice way of saying benefit cuts 2) new management's attitude is "If you aren't happy... leave" 3) People a flying out the door so fast they can't be replaced leaving gaps and weak-points in program management and technical experience. 4) Companies future from and employee moral standpoint is bleak and unsustainable.

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.
