Former Employee – worked at Honeywell International full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Decent pay, but you are exposed to some nasty things.

Cons – Poor retirement, costly medical plan,lots of politics. Upper management out of touch with the hourly and first line supervision. Company will devour the best years of your life then toss you out like rubbish. You will be hard pressed to find a happy Honeywell employee in Hopewell VA. Don't take my word for it. Just ask someone who works or has worked there in the past 10 years. I would not want anybody I cared about to get caught up in that rat race. I had over 25 years there and witnessed it all.

Advice to Senior Management – Go back to striving to be a premier company. stop the greed.

Current Employee – been working at Honeywell International full-time for less than a year

Pros – Most of the people who are here and actually want to stay have been here years, so from supervisors on down it's one big family (most of the time).

Cons – Payscale is lower than most of the other plants and its pretty much all Union on the maintnance crew side.

Like most places they have their cliques of family members and people who "know" someone who shouldn't be there based on work ethics.

The other main problem is the Organization and structure of the upper management and overall company. They prefer to budget tightly but don't plan things well enough so they end up spending more than they need to in the end.

Another issue is that you will most likely get switched from nights to days and crew to crew often and since they won't hire people very often, the crews there get a lot of OT.

Advice to Senior Management – The management is very understanding, but do tend to think small and simple in terms of how to do things, with very little common sense, but they most of the time try to defend you and help you when need be.

Pros – Great culture and employees here.

Cons – Promotion and supervisors often leave a feeling of "want" for the employees.

Advice to Senior Management – Do not concentrate on forcing employees to grow beyond their abilities. There is a different mindset needed to move from the floor into management.
Build comraderie by coaching existing supervisors on their interactions with those who report to them. There is no excuse for being rude to everyone you perceive as being "beneath" you.
