Pros

It was a great place to be under some of the best upper management in the business until a couple of years ago.

Cons

All hands meetings saying they will lay off 1000s weeks before Christmas and then they walked it back and said they weren't going to lay off more than a couple hundred. Then HR held panels to ask employees how they could undo the damage they did before Christmas and retain employees. A week later they hold All hands meetings saying they are going to offer 3600 voluntary separation - 1/3 of the workforce. So stay away. This ship is going down and has lost its way. Other problems include living in Savannah - extremely high violent crime - extremely bad schools - and forget your spouse/partner ever being able to get gainful employment if they are a professional also. Don't bank on 2 salaries and if you were used to that, you are in for a lot of pain. Even worse, if you buy property, you are stuck in a stagnant housing market where you may not ever sell your house if you want to leave. You may never be able to buy a house again. Racism, misogyny, xenophobia and bigotry are all alive and well in Savannah and outsider are not welcomed. You might do well at the office, but think of your wife and kids if you have a family.

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.
