Gulfstream Reviews

Pros

Fair Pay based on experience and 401(k) matching.

Cons

I’ve been here 3 months and haven’t experienced many cons.

Pros

Where else can you say you work for an OEM that makes products for the largest corporations, royalty, celebrities (including founders of famous companies)? Where else can you get inside a private jet and experience what normally multi-millionaires and billionaires experience? Pay is unmatched. Only company where they pay engineers properly (with respect to cost of living). Benefits are very competitive too. They host some really good events for the employees and sometimes their families.

Cons

Sales and upper management fail to understand that quality can NEVER be rushed. This goes against everything the corporation stands for. The insane schedule has created sizeable attrition. There is also inconsistency in design and drafting standards and quality. This has to be improved upon. Be a little more flexible with remote work and allow select employees to print documents from home as they are sometimes needed to do more complex designs/checks. Security is important, but with or without a printer, a bad element can steal information. Hire the right people with a proper background screening and this won’t happen.

Pros

Compensation is very competitive and benefits are great. If you know the right person getting a job is easy.

Cons

Workplace is very dated. Filed complaints due to wildly inappropriate and sexist jokes during meetings but was just told they would try and do better but they would continue on in next meeting. Company refuses to invest in modernizing the workplace to allow employees to be more productive in the new hybrid environment.

Pros

In the past 2-3 years the company took notice of lower/middle management positions. Diversity and inclusion strategies to invite communication and provide and open work experience. Changes needed to be made in key and critical departments we depended on during covid. -toxic work environments -insufficient management. either we didnt have a manager we needed, or the manager didn't have the support they needed. whether its planning, engineering, leads, lower management. And in any company, there is a buddy system. Changes in our Long beach and Brunswick locations. -Cost Related -Moving forward from old to new/current models

Cons

Regardless of these changes, people are always afraid of what ifs. What you'll find is you d**ned if you do and you're d**ned if you don't. Accepting management ideas from other locations and departments allowed us to find where a lot of issues were. BUT. During covid, like any company there were layoffs. Soon after we had alot of demand and not enough manpower. Job postings were made to accommodate to the public vs the skills that were required. With this new issue, lower and middle management learned to adjust and implemented positions to engage with the public demand and tranquilize any intimidation there may be about working with an aerospace company like Gulfstream.

Pros

They are just all around a good place to work if you like building RV’s

Cons

It doesn’t really have any cons

Pros

good work environment good people. decent schedule

Cons

management is a hit or miss

Pros

Later date to discuss more

Cons

Lots of pros some big cons

Pros

Good hours, don't need tools, nice people, work as much as you want.

Cons

some of their tooling is old and beat up

Pros

This is the best aviation maintenance job conditions gets. Real breaks, good people, lots of tools to get the job done. Some managers are great. Facility is nice compared to lot of other places. I keep seeing race and sex discrimination comments on here but that’s fake news. Local demographics control how many minorities work at any company, not the company it self. Gulfstream doesn’t care what color you are, they care if you can work hard and take on tasks outside of your job scope in order to help get planes out the door.

Cons

If you’re on weekends be prepared to work some jobs that you have no idea what you’re doing with little to no assistance or instruction. That’s just a personnel management thing though.

Pros

Enjoyed working with the people.

Cons

Sometimes issues with communication between departments
