Pros
You get 3 weeks of PTO to start, 4 weeks at 5 years. 2 weeks paid off for Christmas. 12 holidays paid and every other Friday off. It adds up to about 3 months off for the year. You are also able to trade OT hours for PTO hours (within a pay period) to help save on PTO with manager approval. Work is as stressful as you make it on yourself.
Cons
Known for low balling wages. Average raise is 1.5% to 3% if you get a raise. -annually You can’t move up (promotion) unless you penetrate a certain % on your pay grade. If you decided to work here your starting pay affects your whole career at Raytheon. They never promote within the department to avoid drama among peers, aside from “leads” who tend to not get paid for their promotion. Be prepared for shop talk at most of Raytheon.
