Business Outlook

Pros

-Not bothered on my time off. -Work life balance is pretty good. -Vacation hours are accrued and can roll over to next year. 250 Hrs max at a time. Gain roughly 13 hours a month. -Hybrid work setup depends on group/department but is available.

Cons

Difficult to implement change. Management is more reactive than proactive which leaves everyone to pick up the slack. A lot of work is not translatable to other jobs outside defense/aerospace.

Not enough resources yet wastful.

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Exciting projects, new technology, free food & shirts upon a milestone completion & celebration. Free gym. Clean shop. Assembly & Integration staff goes above & beyond in assistance. Harness & Cable shop has the shop vs support; constant pointing of fingers and bad mounting, sabotage & undoing , instead of goal/ one team mentality.

Cons

Unsafe practices, poor training, low visibility of risk, not enough structure for cohesion. Quite disconnected and frustrating. Recurring conditions with no resolution or skills lab. Cowboy up or get out of the way, instead of defining a process.
