Pros

The people. Most of the people here like their job and want to do it well. Sense of family at the lower levels, we look out for each other's well being.

Cons

We have to look out for each other because of the ways Honeywell is manipulating everything about working here. Furloughs coming after an extremely profitable year, hiring freezes, "unlimited" vacation (no vacation), travel restrictions, $1500 insurance charge for smoking tobacco (goes to Honeywell, btw), stock buybacks when the tax cuts happened instead of raises and bonuses, having to be re-vested EVERY YEAR to get your 401k so they can keep their cash as long as possible (or take it back if you leave). Greed. Brace for more furloughs or RIF as the economy weakens.

Pros

Helpful co-workers when questions arise. Managers guidance is very insightful with knowing which routes to take when simple procedures have different paths to getting them done.

Cons

There is not a lot of streamlined paths to doing things. Some things may need to be done differently, but there may not be instructions on how to do those things. Which I have to reach out to co-workers for help.
