Pros

You’ll have the opportunity to work in a be of the most stifling negative political environments around. You’ll have the chance to get overlooked for positions you’re qualified for. You’ll get to see said position get handed to a 23-25 year old who’s completed a 2 year leadership development rotation but has no experience in the position their getting let alone “real world” experience. I almost forgot to mention the “extended vacation” event they do annually for their employees! Well I call it an “extended vacation”, they call it a reduction in force.

Cons

See “pros” section. In addition, the benefits used to be great for a very good weekly contribution but they decided having a great, straightforward medical plan was hurting their bottom line so they brought in a rediculously expensive plan that is about as good as veterinary care. It’s also very confusing. I’ve had to spend countless hours on the phone with Aetna for over billing me for services rendered.

Pros

The day I walked out the door! It's been four months, and I'm still happy about leaving!

Cons

Virtually everything is bad there. Everyone hates working there. 20 + year employees are leaving to work for less money and loving it!

Pros

Like others have said it's real hard to get fired. They appear to only be able to trace it back to time charging fraud. Otherwise sky's the limit if you're a slacker or a repeat harasser. Alternative facts meet alternative work. We have coworkers the play solitaire all day or spend most of the day on the can. Management promotes it's own and the meaner and nastier you are the higher you'll climb.

Cons

Benefits are a joke. Don't work here if you think you will ever get really sick and be able to pay for it. No challenging/interesting work except finding new ways to make the management feel special. Lordy knows how many times I've had to let my manager give me a 'massage'. No trust in employees to do anything right. Everything is fresh outta 1990 in the tech department. Lots of stress, tears, and fights. Good luck getting your manager to approve a flex week or 9/80! Campus is in continual decline. If you must work in Aerospace just move to Colorado.
