Pros

Pay was GREAT! AS FAR AS Assembly/Test positions go, pay is well above what you'll get anywhere else. Moved to flexible vacation before I left, eliminating the traditional vacation bank. Can take as much PTO as you want, based on manager approval. This can be good or bad, depending on who your manager is and if they're willing to sign off on your PTO.

Cons

Where to even begin! Too many managers! And a bunch of them have business degrees, meaning they don't know anything about manufacturing! They were absolutely useless. Rather than hire more managers, hire more A&T and machine shop workers! Lots of OT, which can be good or bad depending on who your supervisor is and if they mandate OT. Long, stressful work days. Was hired on into A&T with the expectation that in a year or so I'd move up into an Engineering or Technician role. I was there for 3 years in A&T before I got fed up and found a different job. I took a $15k a year pay cut to leave Moog a year ago and have absolutely 0 regrets about my move. How Moog maintains its reputation as a good place to work is beyond me! Talk to any of the employees who've worked there for a while and they'll tell you Moog isn't what it used to be when Bill Moog was running the place. My advice to people considering a job here would be to reconsider, or follow my lead and spend a few years there before moving on. It pays well and despite being a horrible employer, will look great on your resume when you eventually get fed up and decide to look for a job elsewhere!

Pros

Good Health Benefits, and 401K

Cons

Although Moog promotes an unlimited PTO policy and emphasizes work-life balance, the actual execution is highly inconsistent and depends heavily on management. Some managers are supportive, while others induce guilt, leading to a culture where employees either underutilize their time or feel uncertain about expectations. Furthermore, compensation lags behind the market average, and internal career growth feels stagnant rather than actively supported.
