- The El Paso Training Department is filled with more politics than productivity.
- I've watched the El Paso Adv. Media (IMI) dept. slowly falling apart for some time. Four Media leads have quit in the last three years, and the dept. has lost five people in 2016 alone. After two years, I realized I had to get out. Many former employees are choosing freelance over this place.
- The majority of remaining Media people act like they are in highschool, and spend more time gossiping than working, and then scapegoating others when work is not up to par.
- Nepotism is rampant. Current workers looking for more leadership are ignored, and brand new incomers are given leadership, even if they possess zero skill or resputation, and even after they demonstrate neglible competence.
- Deadlines are not realistic. The dept. "favorites" or popular people give themselves and their friends extra time, but then shuffle harder work or tighter deadlines to workers they don't like, or who aren't part of the "in" crowd.
- I advise females to stay away from Raytheon El Paso. Corporate makes them hire women, but I constantly see Adv. Media relegate their female workers to secretary positions, or customer service roles, rather than training them to do the core work (this happens despite the Media manager being female). A lot of "soft sexism".
- What's worse. The few times a female Media associate does receive attention, it has been only because Media males want to date them. I've seen this happen twice. In one case, when things ended badly, the female left the dept. altogether.
- Meanwhile, Managers don't want to deal with issues or do their own paperwork. They delegate majority of their tasks to hapless employees with zero prep, and expect everybody to stay late to do more than one job. Those who don't stay late are labeled "negative," or not "team players"
- If anybody dares to discuss an issue or project obstacle, they are cut off and spoken over, male or female. Management only listens to people who claim everything is fine, even if it isnt. Meanwhile, technical problems fester until a handful of people are voluntold to fix it after hours and without pay.
- Training/IELT only promotes people that play golf with their head haunchos.
- In short, I'd avoid being hired at Raytheon El Paso.
