      Pros

      Good pay, but eroding health care benefits and increased cost for insurance

      Cons

      Pockets of managers and their hand picked staff lack integrity and make bad decisions causing lack of engagement. In the last few years, I have seen too many people in management, not qualified to be there, start rumors, bad talk each other and other employees, and disclose confidential information about employees performance to other employees. The environment has become toxic and comparable to high school maturity levels, and that has destroyed teams of people and caused a large exodus of engineers and support staff. The executive staff is closing facilities, stranding good employees with no opportunities and significantly impacting communities in which they've been a part of for 50+ years.

      Pros

      Initially it was a great company to work for when I joined. I had a great boss and worked with a fantastic team. Although I was fed up by the end and worked for a different team that was a mess, it was very hard to leave.

      Cons

      Due to a total lack of vision and a whole host of blunders from former CEO Oberhelman, the company is in the doldrums. So much money spent in a wasteful manner...
