Collaborative and Engaging Environment - Director of Business Development Aerostar Manufacturing Employee Review

Growth opportunities, awesome people, while the workload can be demanding at times, I find the challenges rewarding, learned valuable skills

No cons, if you like manufacturing you will love this place,

• The company is ambitious and encourages continuous change and improvement. • Employees gain exposure to multiple initiatives and evolving business priorities. Company wide employee engagement activities (lunches, celebrations) are great. But not be confused with feedback mechanism.

• Work hours are longer than average, with 50+ hours per week being common, which can impact work–life balance. • Compensation is generally below market average for most roles, with management levels being a notable exception. • Decision-making is highly centralized, and opportunities for employee feedback to influence outcomes are limited. • The company’s vision and strategic priorities tend to shift frequently, which can make long-term alignment challenging. • Equipment and technology would benefit from modernization, and some core process controls (such as SPC) are not consistently implemented. • Managers spend a significant amount of time in recurring meetings, which can limit their availability for hands-on team support. • Leadership and people-management capabilities are inconsistent across roles, occasionally affecting team morale and engagement. • Certain positions experience high turnover (for example, multiple changes in the Quality Manager role over a short period), suggesting opportunities to improve role stability and support. • Internal capabilities do not always align with how they are presented externally.
