Pros

Pay is OK but benefits have eroded greatly since Honeywell took over Allied Signal. People are friendly & helpful. Unlimited overtime (if that's what you want).

Cons

Worst mentoring ever. Absolutely no help from managers, supervisors or workflows. No room for advancement. Only outside supervisors hired in the past 5 years (with no previous Aerospace manufacturing background). Management has lost focus on the big picture and is only interested in metrics. They push very hard for overtime, yet they have no idea where that time is spent. The result is that the same people abuse the overtime when there is no work to justify it. Huge emphasis on safety & improvement ideas, but this is only to pad the metrics for a manager or director. Immediate supervisor really clueless and rarely gives positive feedback. Very demoralizing environment. With the current management it will never realize it's full potential. The current HOS system is a one size fits all and no one there has the guts to tell Mr Cote that guess what, one size does not fit all. I guess that when you have dysfunctional management you cannot trust them to run the show so you have to come up with an act that will satisfy the shareholders. Touche Mr Cote. You are a great ringleader with the circus you call HOS.

Pros

Interesting product offerings, learning both global and domestic industry, ability to climb the ladder and have career growth if you work hard. Great people within the business.

Cons

Honeywell corporate culture is very negative. They don't really care about employees, and many executive level managers will ask for things that require late night and weekend work. There is very little work life balance, and no cross training so you still may be contacted or expected to pitch in while you are on vacation.
