Pros

Great people, nice big hangar, decent city to live in. (Windsor)

Cons

HR and upper management needs to be worked on. They fired folks that did no wrong but bother the general manager before he left. Steady work was something you craved, plenty of layoffs.

No commitment to improve

Pros

hourly employees are friendly but management needs to improve. They preach that everything is great, but in reality they refuse to take steps to improve.

Cons

No commitment to improve based on employee inputs. Refuse to improve failing processes. Set unrealistic production goals and place the burden on the backs of the production employees rather than PMs or management. Willing to take shortcuts and turn a blind eye to standards in order to meet deadlines. Instead of fixing problems, they pile on more work and expect the same results. Good employees are either beat down or forced to leave when trying to make improvements.

Pros

I'd been struggling with personal health issues and they were still willing to take a chance on me. I get to work 4/10's. I needed a real full time job and they gave it to me. There is no shortage of work that I can see. They have an extensive training regimen before you can start on your own. On multiple occasions I have been stopped by other employees and informed that opportunities exist should I wish to move up. Oh and they respect my fellow veterans and I for our service.

Cons

The mailing of the paychecks. I was able to sign up for direct deposit a week after I had started. However I was informed by pay roll that I had missed some sort of a cutoff, and that my next three or four paychecks will be mailed. Now I'm waiting for checks in the mail three to five days after payday. That wasn't the only pay issue that I had. I was shorted a days pay on my last paycheck and that required a lot of runaround to get resolved.
