Pros
If you like Aerospace related work, this is the place. Aircraft engines are an exciting profession. Pleanty of travel opportunities if you want with the right job. Generally work with professional people in the office and shop environment. Upper management seems genuinely concerned about quality of work life and is working hard to improve the working environment. We have the backing of a great parent company (Rolls-Royce-plc). Since the sale from GM / Allison 15 years ago, there has been steady and consistent forward progress and improvements. The benefits are pretty good considering what others in the same industry are offering. The 401K plan is excellent and the matching program is about as good as it can get.
Cons
It is a big company and unfortunately a Union shop. I believe that most shop employees want to do a good job, but they are way too protected by the Union and it tends to poison their work efficiency.
