Pros
Opportunity for different interesting assignments. Pay and medical are better than most large companies. Employee morale was improved after Jack Welsh left as CEO. The variety of different equipment worked with and the different students I was able to train kept my employment interesting. I trained Navy Petty Officers on AEGIS, Shield of the Fleet on several different systems. Also, NASA radar technicians on MOTR, Multiple Object Tracking Radar after the tragic Challenger Space Shuttle accident. My previous RCA employment was counted as seniority towards retirement when a contract was acquired. As a retiree, I am grateful that I stayed the course and made it,
Cons
Neutron Jack came in and wiped out 35%. of the staff. Remainder had to become overachievers.
