Pros

Great entry level gig for engineers, salary is great just starting out (65k). Benefits are solid, people are generally good at their jobs. Very hard to get fired, basically need to time card fraud. Great city, and the planes are pretty good. Free coffee. Shifts and timekeeping are very relaxed, it's a "put in your time" kind of place, just don't abuse it and everyone gets along great.

Cons

Benefits have been trending downward as it goes more corporate vs small engineering shop. Salaries stagnate REAL quick after 3 years of experience. No benefit to staying and putting in your time, best served by leaving and coming back later. Engineering facilities are so painful. It's all varying shades of gray cubicles with zero life or natural light. Sodexho runs the pitiful Cafe, and overcharges for crap food. Engineers are also just painful to work with after 40 years old, probably not just GAC issue.

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

Gulfstream is a good company, I would come back to it. Can be a fantastic work life balance. PTO and benefits are decent. Can be an excellent career builder if you have connections and play your cards right. They can pay for your masters. Self-starters are rewarded and recognized,

Cons

-Ultimately, your experience heavily depends on your specific group—and some can be incredibly profane and toxic. If you are trying to implement an improvement but it doesn't agree with leadership, you can be harassed. -You might find yourself fourth in a long line for a position that only opens once a year; many jobs already have a person picked before they are ever posted. This isn't new information.
