Pros

There are lots of pros working for Pratt. You get to work with very talented people and you get to learn A LOT. Depending on the department you are working for, flexibility is allowed. You can work from home when it snows or when you get sick, there are plenty of sick and vacation days. 401K match is standard 6% which is nice.

Cons

Promotions and yearly salary increases are almost non-existent. Yes, you may get lucky and end up in a highly visible group and potentially have a great career, but for most folks it's not the case. It's not about your work ethics, it's not about your dedication, it's mostly about who you know. In case you're like me, who works very hard and puts in 130% into everything you do, is just not enough to get a decent raise or promotion of any kind. Heck even my manager told me that I have to spend more time socializing and less time working if I want any kind of future in the company. For the past 3 years I have received an increase b/n $1500-$2000/year. and no indication of any time of promotion, mind that I have over 15 years of experience in my field of work

Pros

Flexible work week. As long as you reach 40 hours for the week, doesn't matter when you come/go each day. Food is pretty good.

Cons

Quick growth to P3, but growth after that stagnates/fails to be competitive in salary

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.
