Pros

- being part of something that's changing the world

Cons

- pay is less than what most of the other companies in the Aerospace industries pay - it's not what you do or how well you do it but who you know, for a hard worker that doesn't know anyone it can be tough - hiring new supervisors from outside the company instead of promoting with inside the company.

Pros

Managers are very supportive and foster growth while challenging you. Semi flexible schedule - can come in early or stay late to meet required hours. Decent pay, tuition reimbursement, 401k matching, Mentorship opportunities

Cons

Leadership tends to get ahead of themselves with potential large contracts. Begin to invest a lot of time and money prior to contracts being awarded. Could be more clear on company goals and mission. Limited salary increase when changing roles.
