Pros

Lots of well-credentialed, smart professionals. Important mission. High salaries with real possibilities to grow. 4/10 work schedule.

Cons

Too many layoffs are affecting culture; when people are afraid, they retreat. Transition to remote has some drawbacks. I did not realize it's cyclical: it has ups and downs. This is fine for young people but can be dangerous for others.

Pros

-Plenty of work (LO Coatings) -Pay is above average for the area (Tyndall AFB)

Cons

-health insurance is expensive and they only offer 1 plan which is a high deductible plan. -You will be HEAVILY micromanaged by leads that refuse to help work -VERY “clicky”. If you aren’t one of the guys that have worked there a long time and old (50+), you will be one of 3-4 working on the aircraft while the others do the easy work that the lead creates for them and isn’t even needed. The leads and old timers will literally watch you work all day and the supervisor turns a blind eye to it. It’s a huge problem. -Being a hard worker is only rewarded by doing even more work -Zero training -You will only do LO coatings at this location no matter what skill you were hired for. The old guys will fix a nut plate here and there but that’s about it. You will be a painter and and ridden hard. -Constantly cut corners on processes/break specs -Supervisor is incompetent -Job is being moved to Virginia

Pros

Working there is better than being unemployed and on the street

Cons

Nepotism, racism, sexism, all rampant despite protestations to the contrary. No real opportunities for technical career advancement. Management shuffles seats so often there's no clear leadership. When, not if, projects fall behind all of the platitudes about modernization and advancing technology are chucked out of the window and they fall back into the standard 20th century business models and design techniques.
