Reviews about "upper management"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Competitive salary with the opportunity to work on exciting, unique and leading edge technologies.
Cons
Upper management is "old school". Many grew up with the company and are struggling to adopt modern aerospace management principles. Company is struggling to become more lean and efficient.

Pros
Excellent benefits, strong growth and amazing products and technologies. Exiting time to be at GA with the growth and future opportunities. Many positive changes have been driven in the company and facilities is a great example. Leadership is pushing hard to move the support organization forward to meet the demands of the company growth. The facilities organization has made great progress over the past few years and I am happy to be a part of the changes. A true focus on the customers and services we provide. Moving the team in the right direction.
Cons
The company has grown very quickly since I started 7 years ago. Many support organizations such as ours in facilities did not grow rapidly enough to support the company expansion. We are playing catch up but the upper management and ownership has realized the need for these support teams to grow and have brought in some very strong leaders in facilities, IT, HR, Security etc. to help the progression. There has been great improvement over the past 3 or 4 years but there are still some of the “old guard” both leaders and employees that are not in support of the necessary changes. These people need to either support the changes or move on so more rapid progress can be made

Good work and personal life balance. Very smart and competent people. Decent compensation.

Very weak company culture, to be honest its awful. Poor management hierarchy, possibly too much upper management.

Pros
Location, paycheck, 9/80 days. You get to go home after the work day is over
Cons
Low pay. No architecture in the system. Management designing systems to fail. Many people working at GA with outdated skills sets. Dumb people from entry level all the way up to director level are at GA. One can literally fail on every project and get promoted as long as your boss and upper management fail also... it’s the GA way...

Pros
Somewhat competative pay and a pension plan
Cons
Management is horrible. Upper management is too "old school" to adapt to the future environment of work. Project management does not know how to correctly bid a project which results in poor schedules and over worked employees
Continue reading - Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good pay, benefits and work environment.
Cons
Upper management and it seems there always looking for someone to throw under the bus and make a example of what not to do. Even had one a manager, on a number of times. Mess with lunches, aircraft, stuff around the aircraft during a operation, trying to catch someone on a safety violation or anything else he could fine. Had one lead tell me, he seen a hatch open on the aircraft put wasn't going to say anything. Hoping the Crew Chief wouldn't catch it, and make a example of him not doing a thorough walk around. Luckily he seen it before the chucks were pulled.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great employees and incredible benefits including pension program.
Cons
Upper management not in tune with necessary changes needed at lower tiers.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Close knit and a bit smaller than than the big aerospace companies. Fair compensation.
Cons
Work ebbs and flows based on whims of upper management. Spread out between the high desert and north San Diego area.
