Pros
Important work - building military vehicles to keep our troops safe. Many very dedicated people work here.
Cons
The place is run by a management team that thinks it is still 1980. Rather than treat their employees as contributors, they treat them as subjects. They haven't figured out how to operate in a global market, yet. Management employees that are not “good ‘ol boy” pals of Sr. Mgt, don't stand a chance of advancement and will be the first out the door when layoffs come. People with progressive ideas threaten the Managers’ jobs (in their minds) so get rid of ‘em. HR takes their marching orders from the Union, so it is difficult to improve efficiencies because the deadwood is protected by both the Union and the HR dept.
