Pros

The leave and related policies are okay. Pay seems acceptable. No real worries about layoffs.

Cons

Reduction in vacation carry-over has made leave policy worse and very average. Pay is not industry leading. Hard to get promoted and career path isn't really a thing; the job you have when you start is probably the same as when you leave. Tools and processes are all old and leftovers from before Textron purchase. Every project starts late per schedule and Project Engineering/Managers often lack ability to really lead projects. Buildings are all old and often poorly maintained. Poor integration with Textron Aviation's commercial group (Cessna). Textron Aviation & Textron Aviation Defense becoming very negative towards hybrid and remote work which limits ability to attract new talent which is causing us problems on technical projects (don't have right staff to work efforts properly) and feels focused on wrong aspects of the job (is it more important to be productive and like your job vs. be in the same building as everyone else?). Feels like working at an old company that can coast on existing products but will never lead again.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
