Universal Avionics Reviews

Upper management feels disconnected from the workers. Benefits eroding that enticed talent to stay. Hybrid schedule is dwindled down to 1 day in a 9/80 schedule. Health insurance was ok when they covered almost 60$ of it for healthy habits. HR seems to be not willing to help or aid when issues with benefits is pointed out, like insurance not paying for procedures. They will gladly tell you to call the affiliated company that negotiates the bills instead of having an internal person that can help you. Upper management can at times sound like they are not trusting the technical staffers to accomplish their jobs. Predominantly seems to be a cultural barrier due to its predominantly being dished out by a particular group of individuals. Literally heard multiple times a upper manager/chief/staff professional verbally belittle or beat down an fellow coworker. Carrier progression is very slow, the expectation is that you work at a higher level job description for 1 or more years before you get the pay and level promotion.

For some reason people don't want to take their own career trajectory into their own hands. There is education reimbursement, there are plenty of opportunities to jump in and learn, there are many ways to grow yet some people seem to think chair sitting is pre-qualifying for raises and promotions. Can things be a little better, sure, we all can be. But sitting on the sidelines winching and not doing anything doesn't help. At least here you can talk to the senior leadership team and they will know your name and listen. Each of them will genuinely try to help in any way they can. But if you want to sit back and just complain and expect raises and bonuses, I think you need to be somewhere else. We all know those companies where you can slack off and keep your head down until the next RIF has passed like the angel of death. This is the company where people know your name and expect you to be the best you can be and they make that opportunity available -- if you want it.
