Pros

Good amount of PTO after several years of service. Cheap insurance plans.

Cons

This is a small offshoot of Leonardo, a large Italian conglomerate. Small footprint in the US, but they are trying (and failing) to compete with the big boys - Boeing, Lockheed, etc. Very chaotic and disorganized environment, incompetent management, both local and overseas. Poor to non-existent coordination between departments. Pay is significantly below market for aerospace industry. The company is discriminatory against American workers as many top and mid-level jobs go to H1B visa holders from main office in Italy. The company is also in a perpetual DEI and re-structuring modes. Archaic business practices, outdated software and hardware. Offices are filthy and overcrowded, with broken chairs and monitors. Very shady HR department, which is also astonishingly incompetent and unresponsive.

Pros

Pay is good, mainly due to the amount overtime that is required.

Cons

Dedication to the company is not valued. Sadly the best thing you can do for your career here, is quit and come back at a higher position/higher pay. As this seems to be the the way you move up in the company.
