Pros
It paid the bills when a job needed to.

It was work so you had to show up for 40 hours a week
- 2.0Sep 25, 2023ProductionCurrent EmployeeIrwin, PA
Pros
Good benefits, decent pay, clean and temperature controlled bldg.
Cons
Poor training, FAVORITES.... certain employees and especially the female lead get away with everything. Very inappropriate behavior from some people in lead positions and SOME higher management. These people are supposed to help you to be the best employee but instead they talk about employees. Saying things like how bad they are at their job, just always negativity if you are not the chosen ones. It's very sad because I work with a lot of great people but once they start talking about you, no one wants to stay here and work. They told many people they could switch shifts once there was openings and then they kept hiring new people who were supposed to be on 2nd shift. So way after these new people were trained, they could've moved them to 2nd shift but they just kept it up until the older employees got tired of waiting to get on 1st shift and several of them left.

Pros
AWS 9/40 schedule which gives you every other friday off Great amenities at the facility Very slow pace compared to other Aerospace companies I've worked at
Cons
Slow means slow--a lot of red tape to cut through to take certain actions. Salaries and job titles are very regimented and tenure based--this is not a place to accelerate your career
- 3.0Dec 6, 2023Assembly and Test OperatorCurrent Employee, more than 1 yearGlendale, AZ
Pros
The immediate supervisors are more human and understanding of your life. There is a lot of work here and a big opportunity to move if you are a good worker.
Cons
Senior leadership. Not all of them but there definitely people who make others life difficult because they are selfish and act like the snake from the garden of Eden.
- 2.0Nov 3, 2023Electrical Engineer IIFormer Employee, less than 1 yearFort Worth, TX
Pros
Interesting work 5% 401k match is alright.
Cons
They pay salary but expect overtime and don't pay you for it but they charge customers for your overtime worked. You have to clock in exactly each six minutes worked and if you take any breaks you have to close it out and then enter in a new section. Their time keeping software I've been told hasn't been updated in at least 15 years and it is clear. It is extremely clunky. Very old school, very little flexibility. They offer tuition reimbursement but didn't say that comes with a 3 year claw back period. Some of the lower management is awful. It is encouraged not to share problems because upper management scares lower management. As a result, there is poor communication. Lower management is extremely passive aggressive and does not give direct or constructive feedback.
1 - 3.0Nov 7, 2023AnalystCurrent Employee, more than 8 years
Pros
Competitive pay and job security
Cons
The culture is slowly going down hill. Other companies in the area offer better Flex Time and employee benefits that make coming to the office enjoyable. You cannot expect employees to be happy about a mandated 4/1 schedule when other companies are still remote. It is impossible to attract good talent and the talent we do have, frankly, will leave Parker for better work life balance elsewhere.
