Nice People, Slow Bureaucracy
Nice People, Slow Bureaucracy
The people are great, as are the customers. Comfortable surroundings and great So Cal weather. The benefits are OK, although the medical benefits have been declining.
Large bureaucracy makes it hard to get things done. Too many approvals and change board meetings are required to accomplish tasks with any rapidity. Little company interest in investing in ideas unless you work in R&D. Aircraft programs are declining in Long Beach (we'll never get a new one), so the future for young folks that want to spend their careers here is about zilch. Everyone is hoping to hold on until retirement. Not exactly a bright prospect for a motivated work force. Survival of the fittest is coming soon to a cubicle near you!
Management talks about self-directed work teams, but a culture of top-down, command-and-control management structure has removed much of the incentive to be creative. Employees wait for direction or wait for things to happen rather than making them happen themselves. The older workforce (average age 54) really entrenches the old culture.
