Toxic Culture in NH Locations

Pros

Secure job, one of the largest employers in the area. It's rare to find a place in NH that pays as much as BAE Systems. It's often difficult to get a job in this area of NH, so it's good if you want to live and work in the state.

Cons

Very much a place of favoritism. If you're not one of the "good ones" then you're not going to go anywhere in the company. If one of the favorites does a serious vile act, HR will brush it under the rug to avoid punishment or removal of the problematic employee. This creates a toxic workplace culture as some know that they are untouchable because of this. They need to work on their diversity and acceptance. I am not a minority, but I've had friends who have had traumatic experiences at the NH Locations of BAE Systems. I've worked in other locations for brief periods, and this diversity issue is primarily in NH.

Pros

They gave every other Friday off

Cons

-I never actually was able to take every other Friday off and was in many Saturdays -The work life balance is terrible and management does not care -They keep employees that are toxic to the environment -Their accepting culture is a facade - there were many days where I heard people refer to homosexuals as "pedophiles" and people that would openly blurt out that the middle east should just be nuked already - No profit sharing or bonuses, they have an award program in place, but none of my managers ever used it -Advancement is extremely slow, I had heard first had many managers talk about how they had to leave and come back a few years later to get promotions -Was told by my manager that it was not in the budget to pay what I was worth when I gave my notice
