Pros

- Excellent 401(k) match - 40 hour/week baseline - Competitive health benefits - Stable workplace if you want to just show up to work and meet expectations for 40 years and earn a pretty good salary - Opportunities to seek out paid overtime if you desire higher compensation - You help build a magnificent engineering wonder

Cons

- Rampant age discrimination against young employees - Compensation and promotions are tenure-based not achievement/skill-based - Union mentalities harm workplace culture - Regular overtime required for all roles related to manufacturing - Senior management is incompetent beyond comprehension - You may be asked to commit unethical acts - Cares more about how many hours you're in your chair than how productive you are - Extreme bureaucracy - Novel ideas are shunned - Senior individual contributors no longer have cutting edge skill sets but are still paid the highest salaries and do not learn new things - "Alternative facts" culture; facts don't matter - the loudest person wins the argument - It's nearly impossible to fire anyone, especially in union segments, even if they consistently fail to meet expectations

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
