Pros

with the expansion of new facilities and new model aircraft being built it is easy to see that the company is doing well and there is a lot of growth happening within the company and to its bottom line with yet again another "profit year" the health care is low to mid-tier. but they match up to 6% on your 401k. and there is tuition assistance if you're lucky enough to work in an area that doesn't demand too much of your time to actually be able to attend. the best option would be nights or weekends for that route.

Cons

there has been some restructure in pay to certain position however, there are still many underpaid employees and departments who struggle to retain qualified people. in the past 3 years the experience level has dropped significantly. most opting to leave to other airlines that pay better or have better path to growth even if it means longer commutes. in the past year with the new time management system, you get the feeling you are being micromanaged and constantly working against the clock. in short, the corporate bureaucracy has crippled the overall relaxed environment constantly pushing for more production and higher numbers at the cost of the employees' wages, time and general enjoyment of their craft.

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.
