Pros

None, I was only given a start date

Cons

The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing. I was given a start date, submitted sensitive documents and urine sample for drug test and back ground check which took at least a month. I was was given starting pay and supervisor to report to and at the 12th hour they said I wasn't qualified because I didn't have 2 years full time off electronic school. I a ttended a year full time at RETS Technologies and 5 year apprenticeship and 15 years with Local 486, with more than adequate electronic experience working in supermarkets and process refrigeration. The whole process took several months. I turned down several positions because I accepted position. This company has no empathy or common sense, so don't do it. The pay for what they want is also inadequate. They wanted a top notch HVAC Refrigeration mechanic. I have a unrestricted Masters license. I wonder about our defence industry now seeing the inadequate hiring process for good people.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
