Q&A With Collins Aerospace Employees

Very good

Good at the engineering level, deteriorates as one moves up the management ladder.

What's that? Has been thrown out the window with UTC buyout.

Permanent shifts, Rotational shifts are BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH!! Raises that make sense for employees who give their all. Leads and Managers both decided on salary increases. Employees that work 48 hour work weeks should get the full 48 no matter what we feel ripped off on short weeks. We worked that 48 hour shift in 4 days we should get paid for it.

Respect people's time, including your own.

Break up company. Too large of an corporation to make quick decisions locally. Everything has to go thru Corporate.

Easier for degree carrying people not a lot of options for blue collar.

Patience.

That they can switch your schedule in the blink of an eye without caring about your body/mental health.

a month

Weeks

Business casual and uniforms

Haven't looked into this.

Merit raises every year but those average 2.5% from what everyone on the floor compares so not great.

Well you'll be paid more than operators that have been working here for years.. Which is good for you, bad for when the blue collar employees find out.

Apply online.

So far it's been anyone with a pulse or whoever shows up for the interview which is looking to be not the best idea.

There is ZERO growth for people without degrees or its RARE if it happens. I see people leaving here to get better growth.. Salary, Benefit and permanent shifts.

There is no growth opportunities, they rather hire from the outside than training a successor.

Average to slightly below average

Block offices for managers and above, cube farms for office workers, including engineers. Was 7x8, proposed change to 5x7 to increase density, arranged in four person groupings.

Only cares about the shareholders.

International Trade Compliance group is growing the fastest. The new production design group is having difficulties due to no new program wins and customer satisfaction issues.
