Pros

Good benefit package, yearly bonuses for some, challenging industry and programs, quick company growth, over all a good place to work in this down economy.

Cons

Lack of management, some do not see the big picture, this is a corporation not a small aircraft shop. Regardless of how good you are and how much work you do, if you do not rub the right shoulders your chance to advance or be recognized is null and frustration/disappointing could be part of your daily life. At the end of the day if you are okay with all this, this is the place to be.

Pros

9/80 work schedule. Benefits are decent. One of the few comapnies that offer a pension in addition to 401k.

Cons

Too many management layers. Promotions seem to be based on who you know, and if you fit into the right "clique". Some promotions are being given to managers with no experience in the function. Executuve leadership appears out of touch with their employees. Example - Chaotic games have been played the last 3 years with remote and hybrid work policies.
