Pros
the pay was decent and many of the individuals working are very well educated and helpful. The education reimbursement plan was spectacular and in-house education was outstanding if you were allowed to take part in it.
Cons
My first couple of years with DRS were quite enjoyable but the last year there was a severe decline in job satisfactory. All of this due to mid-management changes, people who were are not management material due to their inability to deal with everyone on a fair basis and a ambivilance to quality of product. Individuals who had no training in management were giving supervisors positions on the production floor and used initimdation tactics with employees to do all the biddings of the supervisors including ignoring manufacturing instructions and denying they gave the individuals such an order getting the employee a write up. This done with the managers knowledge and permission. Many employees are afraid of losing their jobs at the whim of the supervisors and manager. The supervisors continue to destroy the program budget with every weekend overtime and no one building product during the week.
