Pros

Stable company even though continued budget cuts. If contracts are cut and work is slow, they will try to place you in a temporary position or relocate you to another division as opposed to firing you. There are many challenging opportunities and opportunities to travel both domestic and internationally (depending on which program you work for). The people take great pride in their work.

Cons

At Aeronautics in Marietta, if you are not production, it is hard to advance. You basically have to move a mountain or get connected with the right person. Hard to move around in the same location. If you want to switch positions, you basically have to move to a different business unit. Pay is ok but raises are not as good as other organizations. Management tends to loose focus as they climb the ladder. Large generation gap. Too many people are only talking about retirement instead of innovative ideas.

Pros

Strong IT training, strong career focus, good yearly review in place finaly. Great team I work with. Good 401K + Capital program with strong website to manage it all and help you see retirement goal vs actual. Strong comunication from top mgt on down, we all know what our goal is. 10 float holidays + 3 weeks vacation + with a 9/80 work schedule we are off every other Friday. The company here in fort worth is closed xmas week ( you do use 2-3 float holiday days for that) but its great no matter.

Cons

Office furniture stuck in the 1960s, no sinks in the break area.

Pros

Ok education benefits. High emphasis placed on innovation strategy.

Cons

Benefits on the decline from education to healthcare. While there is still alright tuition re-reimbursement program you could be in school forever with the cap per year. When you finish, you owe 12 months. Medical coverage, as with most place is gone up in cost, raises were minimal for 2012 merit. New rating system is horrible and was poorly implemented. No one knew it was coming and no substantial training to prepare. Put in your 20 years and maybe you will be promoted to a lead. Management never seems to have any real working experience for what they are in charge of. More opportunity for lateral transition than up the ranks. Most opportunities for other positions have already been written for a specific individual.
