Pros

Benefits are decent and most staff at this particular plant are willing to help

Cons

Mojave is terrible. Management enables bullying and harassment. HR "can't do anything." If employee is friends with management then you are out of luck. Watched people leave because of the harassment and bullying. People are afraid to speak up because of fear of retaliation. Have to watch your back in the labs because people violate conflict of interest and ethic conduct but are still protected by the some of the management there. They will gang up on you if they don't like you. Watched other departments be allowed to yell at and fingerpoint at other departments. Very toxic environment. Compared to rest of "Aerospace Valley", pay is mediocre. Safety is supposed to be #1 but have seen violations from a newly salaried employee who seems not to care and throws other employees under the bus. Work/life balance- depends on your team.

Pros

Freedom to choose your own schedule

Cons

Don’t know where to begin. 50 hr work weeks, underpaid, treated like garbage, upper management takes any criticism as an attempt to overthrow their position. Expect to grow sales when there is no inventory. VERY unprofessional and unorganized company. I’m amazed they are still in business . I strongly recommend no one work here.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good opportunity to learn about yourself and how to "deal" with people from all levels and to learn what not to do in a work place or how to treat people.

Cons

An extremely weak HR department that shows favoritism. If someone in management, HR or another supervisor doesn't like you or sees you as a threat you won't last there. Too many friends and family from production employees to the management team. A completely incompetent management team that reacts too much without thinking about the long term effects of a given situation. Complete disregard for your interests even though they will tell you they care about your growth which is not true because they have already chosen their favorites on who they want to help move up.
