Pros

This is a fantastic place to get into if you want to stay and grow with a company for a long time. This depends on the type of work you do though. The benefits are overall great, although they were even better a few years ago. The company is a worldwide leader in luxury aviation and you can't help but take pride in the attention to detail that goes into every product.

Cons

Sometimes the organization is slow to change. Especially when it comes to bringing new technology to internal processes. There's always risk in change, but you have to stay fresh! When Gulfstream does finally make a change to processes, it's kind of agonizing and doesn't exactly feel planned out. Depending on the department, expect to always work at least 1 or two extra hours each day (as a salaried employee, your first five hours of overtime are unpaid, and it's pretty much an expectation that you work those five hours). Depending on your department, you may find yourself working 80 hours of work in a week. Management is good about patting you on the back, but not so good about preventing these kinds of work/life balance violations from happening in the first place.

Cons

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
