Pros

Not much I can say on the Pro side.

Cons

The company only cares about profits over safety. It was clear with the roll out of the GTF engine and all the trouble it had afterwards. They where so worried about losing market shares that they put an engine out that they new wasn't ready. On the military engines side they used/use unqualified inspectors to inspect parts. When I brought it up they decided that it was time for me to go. So they manufactured an issue and claimed that I violated a quality cardinal rule that is so shady in how they interpret what is a violation or not. I sat in on meetings where they would say that fells like one and this one doesn't.

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.
