Constructive Feedback From Textron Aviation Employees

  • What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
    Think about how their interactions and ways of acting impacts others. Being noisy and distracting makes them hard to like. For the most part they're okay, it's the environment and having to work in close space for no good reason that makes it hard to enjoy working together.
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    I think that the company culture needs to change. Employees need to feel valued and want to come to work every day. At my service center most of the managers have a very negative attitude towards work. Additionally absences are tolerated at a rate I have never seen before.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I feel that my stock should be matched 50% regardless of how much I’m trying to invest. Our healthcare is very confusing and seems to be in need of a lot of hel
