Pros

Pay is high on a nationwide level. Pay is very high on a local level.

Cons

The leadership team at Gulfstream is “The Keystone Cops” of leadership teams. Quick to cut (deeply), disinterested in improvement, reactionary, quick to blame, oblivious to self-fault, power-hungry zealots who’ve somehow managed to drive a multi-billion dollar, industry-leading company straight into the ground. Being in management there drove me to ask my doctor to prescribe me an antidepressant, literally. The total lack of order and logic in decision making is exhausting. There are no legitimate annual goals. It’s impossible to make any sort of plan due to that absence of goals combined with the LT’s itchy trigger fingers (that get really itchy when poor quarterly results come in). There’s no rhyme or reason in who’s next to get laid off so career planning is beyond futile. It’s foolish. The systems, processes, and culture are all outdated and clumsy - at best. So yeah, if you like the idea of high pay, zero job satisfaction, a pack of self-serving (insert plural noun of choice here) at the helm, all seasoned with the spice of never knowing when you might get laid off, then this place is for you. The future for this company is dismal at best.

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.
