Pros

Decent pay for geographical area. Benefits are above average. Interesting cutting edge technology in some departments. The workforce generally wants to do a good job regardless of what area or department they work in.

Cons

Training and/or advancement are totally dependent on what department you work in and if management likes you on a personal level. Lean six sigma is considered the holy grail of efficiency for all processes. A golden bullet if you will. Training, experience and skill are less important to your advancement than the ability to "suck up" to management in many departments.

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.
