Pros

Big company where there is opportunity to move around within.

Great plans.

They try to keep you in if you are ever laid off (help you find a new job).

Cons

Education plan suffered with the economy. They got smart and required 2 years in the company after completing a master's to be paid for it.

Flight Test has limited chances to get higher levels.

Flight Test is an up and down environment. It could be really busy or dead.

LOCATION! Test sites are little towns.

Advice to Management

Keep employees engaged and, in flight test, spend some money on training. OJT isn't always the best way to do things. The Navy has multiple programs that train its employees. Maybe have rotations in Flight Test to see what the different platforms are doing. Connect the four major test sites by keeping standard procedures throughout the four.
