Pros

Stability and salary. It is difficult for the company to attract good people to the area, so they will do whatever they can to keep people, even those who don't perform or are difficult to deal with. Salary and benefits are good with 6% match on the 401k.

Cons

Area, morale, and some people. The area is depressing. Poor and uneducated people everywhere. If you are married and your spouse does not work for Gulfstream too, his/her salary is going to be very low compared to other areas. Savannah is nice for a couple of weekends, not to live in. Morale goes down a little bit every time leadership refuses to make a decision based on the clear data available today, and requests yet another trade study for tomorrow. Morale goes down a bit more every time leadership shoots from the hip on something serious because resources are too busy working on the latest chapter of that same old trade study and cannot work on something that is actually important. Ah, and remember the difficult people I mentioned above? You will eventually meet them...

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
