Pros

We have some great dedidated people with some solid products.

Cons

Calhoun hires executives at millionaire rates who cant manage. He fired workers when employment was high then tries to hire them back at historic unemeployment lows. Procure ment goes through Arriba and India for the same part from Amazon at 40% less. BA pays Dell for useless contractors. Calhoun oferred 50 shares for staffers to stay 3 more years. Most left. You will be pressured to work without pay to pickup the slack for slackers. It can be a toxic environment.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
