Pros
Experience, you will leave knowing things can only get better.
Cons
Culture, Wage, Hours, Benefits, Vacation, Nepotism, Leadership. I worked here for years. It's not worth it. If you value your health, integrity, and soul do not work here. This company does NOT care about its employees..except those who sit in the glass buildings of corporate. Hourly employees suffer the greatest at PCC. You're a number to them, and they have no problem threatening and risking your health for their success. Intimidation tactics are used from the top of the business down. The horror stories of the CEO and Senior Leadership are a reality. People are hired to be their attack dogs and to bend ethical boundaries in order to produce results. Leaders will POINT BLANK tell you, the culture will not change as long as Mark (CEO) is still here. Outside of Mark, there are two aloof figures with law backgrounds (not HR) that have a heavy pull on what happens in this business. Many of the top leaders have never physically worked in a shop/manufacturing environment, or visited our sites outside of conference rooms. Women as well are often subjected to illegal and unfair practices. Routinely stories are shared of women being asked about their families, and the ability to maintain insane working hours during interviews! Women are bypassed for promotions even when their experience outweighs that of their male counterparts. Across the business, at the salaried level, there is not a balanced proportion of women in operations or management roles. As well, there are hardly any POC in upper-level roles. HR people are treated as administrative assistants and rarely get the opportunity to focus on improving things for their people. Engineering/Operations are the end all be all. HR is merely acting as the grim reaper caring out their instructions, often against their better judgment. The department is a rotating door. If you make it 2 years here, it's a great feat. *If you decide to join this company, only do so to join a development program. *The Airframe segment is crumbling and riffing/laying off/firing people at alarming rates for any reason. (There is no transparency, the company has not addressed this at all. Fear is rampant) *Retention here is almost non-existent. There are some individuals who are amazing! There are certain facilities that do things right. However, across the board, the good people are beaten into submission or end up jaded and desensitized to the organization practices.
