Pros

Great pay and benefits - quality of work/life balance depends on the program you work on.

Cons

RMS has such a problem with nepotism and the management on Tier 2 programs very political. The overall environment was working in a very small cubicle area jammed in with thousands of folks who are encouraged to backstab fellow teammates. The continued reorganization in the Product Support Directorate was a joke. Only "Yes Men" are selected to report to an extremely difficult Director who shows very little concern for his employees.

Pros

Decent salary. Some managers are good to work for. 9/80 work schedule. VSP insurance.

Cons

You are constantly wondering if you'll have a job in the next couple months, even if you are busy. Business development has had a hard time capturing new business. They focus on large programs only. Rounds of layoffs are on going. Morale is low and there is no focus on the employee. Apparently, even people with 20yrs experience in a specialized field are dispensable. Health benefits suck. $2000 deductibles for the only two options.

Pros

- Best pay in the El Paso, TX area - If you can get transferred out, DO IT!

Cons

- The El Paso Training Department is filled with more politics than productivity. - I've watched the El Paso Adv. Media (IMI) dept. slowly falling apart for some time. Four Media leads have quit in the last three years, and the dept. has lost five people in 2016 alone. After two years, I realized I had to get out. Many former employees are choosing freelance over this place. - The majority of remaining Media people act like they are in highschool, and spend more time gossiping than working, and then scapegoating others when work is not up to par. - Nepotism is rampant. Current workers looking for more leadership are ignored, and brand new incomers are given leadership, even if they possess zero skill or resputation, and even after they demonstrate neglible competence. - Deadlines are not realistic. The dept. "favorites" or popular people give themselves and their friends extra time, but then shuffle harder work or tighter deadlines to workers they don't like, or who aren't part of the "in" crowd. - I advise females to stay away from Raytheon El Paso. Corporate makes them hire women, but I constantly see Adv. Media relegate their female workers to secretary positions, or customer service roles, rather than training them to do the core work (this happens despite the Media manager being female). A lot of "soft sexism". - What's worse. The few times a female Media associate does receive attention, it has been only because Media males want to date them. I've seen this happen twice. In one case, when things ended badly, the female left the dept. altogether. - Meanwhile, Managers don't want to deal with issues or do their own paperwork. They delegate majority of their tasks to hapless employees with zero prep, and expect everybody to stay late to do more than one job. Those who don't stay late are labeled "negative," or not "team players" - If anybody dares to discuss an issue or project obstacle, they are cut off and spoken over, male or female. Management only listens to people who claim everything is fine, even if it isnt. Meanwhile, technical problems fester until a handful of people are voluntold to fix it after hours and without pay. - Training/IELT only promotes people that play golf with their head haunchos. - In short, I'd avoid being hired at Raytheon El Paso.
