General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Compensation Employee Reviews

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Some level of pension plan

Pension and 401k and PTO

Pension 401k roth ira plant shut down during christmas

There is a an annual bonus and a 7% annual penison

Annual Bonuses pretty consistent $1000 - $3000 a year, and the 401K matching (amped up because the Pension Plan ended for new employees).

Good overall dental and eye care.

Probably the pension and 401k. The pension is a rarity and it is managed well.

Review from Engineering Dept

Pension and 401k matching, annual bonuses are small

The best part is the pension which is nonexistent in most companies these days.

Review from Engineering Dept

My salary, the pension and 401k are ok though.

Review from Engineering Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

No difference in compensation relative to contribution

It is hard to watch a small majority of the employees thrive and win internal positions and merit when you work equally hard with little to no recognition. We risk our lives every day - and for NO respect. They just make excuses but we all have stellar reviews

I feel like I am getting taken advantage of!

Not sure how to answer the what would make me feel more valued. Salaried employees required to work 55-65+ hours per work. A bonus would be nice, maybe a cost iof living increase too; expected yearly raises <3% as a high keets to exceeds emoloyee

Management is technically incapable of adjudicating quality such that it is conflated with results. Teamwork is conflated with attitude such that work with long-lasting benefits to the team is ignored and undervalued.

Results are conflated with quality such that no regard is placed on quality. Teamwork is conflated with attitude such that work with long-term benefits to the team is unrewarded.

Results are conflated with quality. Attitude is conflated with teamwork.

Compensations are awarded to friends and family members.

Review from Engineering Dept

Low salary compared to San Diego market, no equity because it's a privately held company. %7 pension doesn't really make up for the lack of equity.

Review from Engineering Dept

Better benefits, full health, better 401k match etc.
