1000 Days to 1 Universal - Electrical Engineer II Universal Avionics Employee Review

Pros

A lot of hard working people in the trenches trying to do a good job and some interesting technology. Nice facility but it's at least half empty.

Cons

Upper management has no vision and is just skating by. When it was pointed out that there were numerous inter-facility communications problems and poor middle managers they developed "1000 Days to 1 Universal." It took them a year to come up with some useless flash cards and a management retreat to make a slight change to the company motto. They couldn't even do that on their own, they had to hire a consultant.

Pros

Knowledgeable and friendly coworkers. Some of the managers appreciate your contributions.

Cons

Upper management feels disconnected from the workers. Benefits eroding that enticed talent to stay. Hybrid schedule is dwindled down to 1 day in a 9/80 schedule. Health insurance was ok when they covered almost 60$ of it for healthy habits. HR seems to be not willing to help or aid when issues with benefits is pointed out, like insurance not paying for procedures. They will gladly tell you to call the affiliated company that negotiates the bills instead of having an internal person that can help you. Upper management can at times sound like they are not trusting the technical staffers to accomplish their jobs. Predominantly seems to be a cultural barrier due to its predominantly being dished out by a particular group of individuals. Literally heard multiple times a upper manager/chief/staff professional verbally belittle or beat down an fellow coworker. Carrier progression is very slow, the expectation is that you work at a higher level job description for 1 or more years before you get the pay and level promotion.
