      Pros

      Generally clean plant. Older supervisors are more relaxed and able to make decisions. Depending on tier, can be good pay and benefits.

      Cons

      Each union contract, pay and benefits get reduced. There are 4 tiers, shameful. Company continually outsourcing parts so fewer and fewer workers. Building old so they are systematically moving good jobs. New plant in Virginia may be gearing up for those jobs.

      The Darker Side of a Prestige Company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As Rolls Royce is a leading manufacturer it has a lot of new high end equipment. Pay for full time employees in shop floor positions and manufacturing engineer position can be good.There are a fair amount of good employee benefits suck as the cycle to work scheme, share save scheme etc.

      Cons

      The working environment is terrible in some places (sweltering/freezing/filthy etc.). There is far too much management and new layers are still being added even when there are not enough jobs for the apprentices they have taken on. Management is quite bad and quick to change. It's rare to find a manager who has been in their current position for long or who has progressed to manager directly from their last job role meaning a lot of training and changes just for them to move on again soon. the management is also not very proactive (especially when it comes to issuing pay rises or rate increases. There are not equal training opportunities for all the staff. contrary to what the company says, they only offer training to those who are already on a management/ manufacturing engineer path. This means shop floor staff have little chance of progression.

      Pros

      It was great to be a part of the aerospace industry, and to use your talents and abilities in the production of products with a sterling reputation.

      Cons

      Management is an enduring challenge. I've had some good management ... and some poor management. I ended up leaving the company due to a number of mis-steps by management at almost every level.
