Pros

Company takes care of employees with decent pay and time off from day one. Great products, and looks great on a resume.

Cons

The Westfield, MA service center is in need of a major overhaul. New employees are brought in with no training on very complex aircraft. Senior technicians will not train new employees, so new mechanics are forced to learn as they go with little data. No aircraft specific training is provided or any training on proper way to fill out paper work. The company let's the customer and the inspection department dictate how maintenance gets done rather than doing it how the manuals call for. Upper management only cares about how to prevent damage on aircraft and making sure they get the "your idea at work" quota. 90% of the problems at that facility could be solved with proper training and teaching better communication. Upper management is on the "good Ole boy" system where all the original employees are now managers and friends and refuse to make changes in an constant changing environment. Definitely not the Gulfstream service center I recommend working for. Go to Brunswick or Appleton

Pros

-Work in an air conditioned hangar! -All the tools and support needed to do the job -Excellent training available -Good safety culture -Fairly easy work -Lots of opportunities to grow

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

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.
