Just don't get it

Pros

Pay Benefits Pride in building a product that helps the war fighter defend our country.

Cons

Management does not have a clue. Many have been here 15 or more years. They wouldn't know world class if it fell on them. No clue as to what the rest of the world is doing. Instead of developing new business, their business strategy is to whine about the defense cutbacks. Pathetic. They think they are doing good when many departments are at least partially disfunctional. Perhaps it is what they want. Wait, another new VP. Just what we needed. I hear Nero playing his fiddle.

Business Outlook

Pros

Important work - building military vehicles to keep our troops safe. Many very dedicated people work here.

Cons

The place is run by a management team that thinks it is still 1980. Rather than treat their employees as contributors, they treat them as subjects. They haven't figured out how to operate in a global market, yet. Management employees that are not “good ‘ol boy” pals of Sr. Mgt, don't stand a chance of advancement and will be the first out the door when layoffs come. People with progressive ideas threaten the Managers’ jobs (in their minds) so get rid of ‘em. HR takes their marching orders from the Union, so it is difficult to improve efficiencies because the deadwood is protected by both the Union and the HR dept.
