Pros

There is some interesting engineering work to do here and it is good experience.

Cons

They don't seem to 'get' that they won't get loyalty without getting it. In direct engineering (sustaining) there is a 'give me five' - five hours free program (this was not communicated in my offer). 4-10 work schedule was promised (in writing) then removed the week I got there. 9 months before getting goals...no performance review...no job description. Lots of good people randomly trying to stay busy. As lots of other people have said...middle management SUCKS. The company culture is a lot of backbiting and competing for flashy projects. The people that like Savannah and want to stay will do all in their power to look good. Promotion rate is slow, you have to be completely self motivated to get good projects. People suck. Savannah is hot and boring (unless you are into restaurants and bars). The pay is just so-so now that they eliminated paid overtime. It sucks that they have lost the excitement and culture of designing an airplane and have moved to a big disorganized group of people who are terrified to be laid off. All showmanship and it's beginning to reflect in the product. Lost their passion. Avoid this company until they get their transition figured out.

Cons

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

PTO policy is pretty straight forward and a decent amount of time. If you’re right out of high school or your only desire is to turn wrenches you’re entire life, this place is for you. Three day weekends.

Cons

There is no mobility. They can’t find mechanics so if you are one, they will keep you there at all costs. They fully rely on the good old boy system. The people that are in management positions, especially at West Palm, do not care about anything other than staying where they are and using what little power they think they have. Management is very customer focused but forget their employees. Health benefits are seriously lacking.
