Pros

A fun, exciting company that is headed in the right direction. They compensate well for those who have invested in their education. Wonderful tuition programs are available for returning to school to further your education.

Cons

A lot of military camaraderie, which can lead to favoritism and promotions of green employees—those who may not be as qualified as others. That's the "good ol boys" mentality within middle/upper middle management that needs to stop, as it pushes good employees away.

Advice to Management

When selecting candidates for positions that require a certain amount of engine mechanical knowledge, i.e., product engineers, we should select individuals who have some basic knowledge of engine systems.

Possible pre-employment screenings or questionnaires during the interview process.
