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?

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

Gulfstream is a good company, I would come back to it. Can be a fantastic work life balance. PTO and benefits are decent. Can be an excellent career builder if you have connections and play your cards right. They can pay for your masters. Self-starters are rewarded and recognized,

Cons

-Ultimately, your experience heavily depends on your specific group—and some can be incredibly profane and toxic. If you are trying to implement an improvement but it doesn't agree with leadership, you can be harassed. -You might find yourself fourth in a long line for a position that only opens once a year; many jobs already have a person picked before they are ever posted. This isn't new information.
