Crisis and the Good Old Boys

Avionics assembly technician, supervisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits package, plenty of overtime, some good, hardworking people who care a lot. They grew fast which is good and bad - lots of opportunity but also lots of growing pains.

Cons

If you are not in the good old boys network you are not treated well, they move from crisis to crisis and never hold the right people accountable because they are part of the good old boy network, Italians can do no wrong so if you're not from Italy and the other guy is, forget it you will lose, new Philadelphia CEO talks about trust but allows managers to backstab.

Poor development, big issue with a lack of trust, unwilling to invest in employees

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for moving between departments. Travel opportunities. Equal opportunities in UK. Generally employees are conscientious (few abrasive characters). Stability.

Cons

Highly dependent on who your manager as to your progression. Don't seem particularly flexible/trusting when it comes to travel and working arrangements. Unprofessional behaviour by some in HR. Business, engineering and operations are disconnected. No bonuses. Disheartened employees.

Pros

There is no shortage of work to be done.

Cons

You'll NEVER get all of your work done, most won't be satisfied with your work. Be prepared to work WEEKENDS and HOLIDAYS.
