training program sucks, union is manipulated by management. too many favors asked of management by union interfere with purposeful business ethics., like "hire my kid"....now already tarnished reputation of union is "in bed with HR".

Pros

Easy work and job security

Cons

Micro managing, bureaucratic environment run by people who have been there for 30+ years. Overall the intelligence level of managers and employees in general is low. High influx of nepotism. Do not focus on proper training of employees or intellectual growth.

Pros

Great company to work. Very professional, causal business attire. Good health benefits and vacation time. Most people were very friendly and helpful.

Cons

Unfortunately, my group was not very helpful towards myself and another new employee. Learn on your own as you go. No formal training. Catch as catch can. My group was wary of the two new people. The woman who was hired with me transferred out of this group to a different facility. Any small mistake would be reported to the manager of the group. I had received great end of year report, but it did not reflect at all in salary. In fact with raising health costs, my paycheck was less than when I started in year one. Many workers outside of this group told me I was in the worst group at that facility, because of the other employees reluctance to answer questions and were also very proprietary with their work. When hired, I was to team with someone who had been there many years and share her workload, but she undermined me every chance she got.

Pros

Depends on the division, decent pay, decent time off/work life balance. some interesting projects. MFC and Aero divisions excellent, RMS division is terrible, poorly managed.

Cons

RMS division is very poorly managed, sub par raises, very few promotions, young, inexperienced people are in management positions making poor business and personnel decisions. Focus is on corporate profits and not the workers doing the work. Too many people reporting about the work instead of doing the work. No paid training and development for senior employees. Too much emphasis on useless metrics and processes and tools that are either not efficient or don't apply to the business unit.

Pros

Some good projects. If you can learn on the job, that is all you get.

Cons

Need treat employees better, benefits not better they "peers," lies when saying it cost the same. Saying no peer employer has it is another lie. News says company's giving unlimited maternity leave, we get 2. SLT keeps get more, we get less. Training is not helping you keep your skills up to date, only training provided is how to do your time, how to treat fellow employees. These are lies about training that every employee get 40 hours of training every year. Will pay for master college courses but not undergrad or electrical standard changes.
