Great Experience! High Probability of Layoff!

Planning department

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The friendships you will create with coworkers, customers and vendors will be plentiful. There is alot to learn and keep you engaged in the manufacturing world of aircraft. The salary and benefits are mid range to high end for the Rogue Valley.

Cons

The company has a long history of financial issues. Layoff's are a norm at Erickson so plan your finances accordingly if you take a position here. It's a great company that just can't seem to keep financially solvent.
