Production based working environment with growth opportunity
|
Days consisted of trouble shooting and repairing any machinery in any way. Electrical, mechanical and hydraulic. Leveling or setup of machinery and operating machines. I've learned to have more confidence in my abilities and to delegate the work for optimum efficiency according to the company guidelines. The management I thought was great. I felt that the management was approachable and easy to speak with. The hardest part of the job was troubleshooting intermittent problems with busy machinery during the day with a time frame. Repairing any problems in a timely manner using my own experience and knowledge
|
The caliber of work projects. And the contracted clientele

Cut throats

Besides management this place would be a great place to work …… team leads cater to love affairs and hr an other leads turn a cheek to what’s going on .. majority of work is forced on one or to individuals while everyone that’s cool with lead relaxes …. If you complain hr almost always agree with leads

You literally have to fit in. You will be outcasted and treated unfairly if you don’t. To each their own. If you can handle being tested mentally and physically apart from the job requirements then it’s a great job for you. Great career, not so great company.

Poor management
|
New management is pulling the company down. The people who actually do the work are great to work with but a lot of the managers and executives are either not qualified or think they know everything. Multiple direction changes in the last few years and taking advantage of the good employees are driving down morale.

Promotion Opportunities
|
Kaman will promote and invest in you if you prove the investment is worth it.
Many employees think tenure equals merit and the old union propagate that mentality. These employees had a hard time adjusting.
Companies are profit based and merit is the only proper way to prove your worth investing in.

Bad management, worse future prospects
|
I worked at Kaman Jacksonville from 2016 to 2019 when I was caught in the second wave of COVID lay-offs. Most places seem to be in a constant state of "put out fires" mode, but Kaman was the worst I ever experienced. There has been a leadership change since I was there, so things could be different, but from what little I know I doubt it's better. For now there is good exposure to Boeing, Bell, and Sikorsky engineering so it's not a bad stepping stone to a better company, especially Northrop Grumman which is also in Jacksonville
