Pros
For someone who loves aviation and commercial airliners, it is a good job to start with for an undergraduate in engineering, as you get to learn about many different parts of the airplane and its construction. The benefits are good/okay. Some of the benefits are varying since the utilization of them vary from person to person and their financial situation. The team works together well and is very cooperative and works as a unit. If you need help, they are very open to assisting you to complete your task. The workload is manageable most of the time, so there won't be too many moments of "having nothing to do" (whether you seen this as good or not). There is a good work-life balance as the position is typically based on the production schedule. So any extra time that is done (over 40 hours) is compensated if it is a "working Saturday" at the hourly rate (not over time, standard time). Have not had to work more than 40 hours against my decision. Their is potential to move up, but you will not stay in the department. So any experience you learn will be replaced by going to another position internally.
Cons
The compensation is on the low end for the amount of work that could be given to you. The company labels this as a "planner" position but they are part of the Manufacturing Engineering Serial Process Engineers. So the company will refrain from giving what most "engineer" starting positions are compared to larger cities. Workload seems to come in waves and can be a little overwhelming if you are not use to this type of environment. For this to be one of the "entry-level" positions for the white collar work, it feels mislabeled as many important decisions are made at this point, when there should be more input from other departments for manufacturing decisions instead of just one person making the call for changes and/or new processes. The position is named "planner" but their seems to be a lot of reacting to issues and less of the planning aspect. Some projects are planned and go relatively smoothly, others are reactive due to lack of communication with external departments, which leads to stress and postponing projects.
