Pros of working at Spirit AeroSystems

Paycheck. The salary was a carry-over from Boeing. Also got to work together with some really, really awesome people.

Cons of working at Spirit AeroSystems

Belligerent management, forced shift rotation (salaried position), mandatory overtime, performance management reviews (and that was literally intolerable. Never minded Boeing reviews), forced totem ranking quotas. Retired after 31 years as was unceremoniously walked out.

Spirit AeroSystems benefits

As a Boeing retiree who was carried over on day one, there really was nothing except a paycheck and vacation time.

Safety and quality are paramount until they get in the way of production and making the numbers. Then quality and safety go out the window. Do not enjoy massive amounts of forced or mandatory overtime. Union contract is practically worthless here.
