Pros

This company used to take care of their own. If you were a direct employee, it was easy to stay on until retirement.

Cons

Now with the reduction in force and the voluntary separation package, Gulfstream is forcing direct employees with several years experience out due to "business and budget issues". They do still hire college interns with no aircraft experience and participate in several community organizations. Why waste all that money that could be used to retain the skilled workers you have now?

Pros

-Work in an air conditioned hangar! -All the tools and support needed to do the job -Excellent training available -Good safety culture -Fairly easy work -Lots of opportunities to grow

Cons

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
