Pros

- Constantly expanding company - Exciting new projects in Aerospace to be a part of - Bring able to work on things going into space

Cons

- Company takes on too many projects at once and gets mad at employees who don't put in OT - The owners need to shell out the money and take their expansion plans seriously. The facility is very small and we would spend entire days moving things around to get some of the larger projects around to ovens. They need a bigger facility instead of coming up with fixes on the fly. - Engineers do not take future maintenance or assembly into account with their designs - Leaders are kinda whipcrackers. They will get mad if you take 5 min to talk or just chill out for a second. There are times during layups that call for 10 min+ debulks and they will get mad if you don't grab a broom or something during those 10 min.

Pros

BlueForce hires people below the cost of living in Raleigh. The yearly raises do not keep up with inflation. This has created a situation where technicians quit at the 2-3 year point. There are very few people who began in aerospace composites with this company that remain here beyond 5 years. Since Anduril has taken over they now hire newbies at the cost of living directly. You will not be able to save money for the future here unless you come in at a high salary. You will get valuable experience in a lot of aspects and it’s good experience.

Cons

-Yearly reviews are aimed at what people did wrong to justify the low pay -Judgmental management -Inflation outpaces raises -Getting promoted to a new job title can net as little as 0.50$ an hour when the same job (moving to a new company) would net 5.00$ per hour more
