Pros

Pratt and Whitney makes a very interesting and highly advanced product. New college hire have to option to participate in a 3 year rotational program to gain experience across various sections in their department.

Cons

No longer has a great Employee Scholar program. Pratt used the promise of a great employee scholar program to lure in new hires. However, after the new hires became eligible to participate in the program, it was limited and service requirements (not previously required) were added. Communication between departments is also poor.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to move up within the company. Willing to pay for schooling through Raytheon's education program. Plenty of PTO and sick time.

Cons

I feel that the location I was at did not pay competitively.

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

Personnel reporting to me had apparently looked up my political affiliation (which I had never mentioned) and took exception to it by sabotaging work that I had supervised. This was well before 2022 - actually 2015-2016 (2022 is earliest review date I could select). I was just now remembering it. This polarized political posture was a function of the plant being near Harrisburg, PA which, at least then, was a somewhat "redneckish" area. I have never discussed my politics at work, so it seemed absurd of them to look up my party affiliation and take issue with it.
