RTX reviews

Disengaged employees. Low moral. Few friendly people willing to say "Good Morning" or "How was your weekend?" People avoid eye contact in the hallways as you walk toward each other. Everyone is into their own thing, low esprit de corps. After-work camaraderie is zero. Employees are paranoid such that will lock their office doors (in unclassified areas) just to go the the restroom. You'll see a half dozen people waiting for the intercampus shuttle and none of them will be speaking to each other. Everyone is on guard and chooses to interface with high personal boundaries. Benefits are way below par for a major aerospace company: A 90/10 PPO for a family is $6000 (six THOUSAND) per year out of your paycheck. The 401(k) match is only 3%. Management is disconnected from other Raytheons in Southern California such as Fullerton and San Diego. It is as if there are several individual Raytheons. So, if you are on the layoff list, your management has little to no visibility to other Raytheon facilities' employment needs and thus they do not pave the way for a transfer to save your job. Boeing for example, is very good at moving people around in this fashion.

Work is boring, not challenging, stagnant, no growth, managers will push and step on you until you leave for good. Low wages, bad raises, no employee rewards programs, no employee recognition, no employee family programs, lack of employee morale, lack of fun company activities. I must mention, Forest is a dry county, there is not a bar in Forest, you can't even drink your sorrows away! Well you aren't supposed to legally. You have to buy your liquor out of Scott county. However, if a cop stops you he can arrest you for Bootlegging! That is right! Prohibition is still going on. Forget about happy hours, or hanging out with your co-workers out of Church activities. Too many layers of management! And they know squat about manufacturing electronics. They do know how to yell, scream, and how to make your life miserable with unreasonable schedules and demands. There is nothing to do in Forest or 40 miles from Raytheon. According to managers it is perfect for anyone who works there as they make them believe that given that there is nothing to do in Forest, MS other than work, that's what employees must concentrate on, and do at all times.
