Pros

Very competitive pay, beyond great benefits, easy to move within the company, lots of training is offered, building amazing aircraft.

Cons

It's difficult to find people who work hard and love their job.

It is mandatory to join the engineering union (SPEEA), and because of the union, it is nearly impossible for anyone to get fired, except during layoff seasons.

Well over the majority of employees will retire in 5-10 years, and you get the feeling they want to 'coast' their way out.

Not a motivating place to work. Not a culture that wants change or excitement.

Also, I hope you don't mind starting work at 6 a.m., which is the only time you will find parking.

Advice to Management

Instead of just pampering your interns to lure them in, treat your employees to a great working environment so you don't struggle to retain them.
