Working at Curtiss-Wright in Brea, CA: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Brea, CA Area

"I've worked at Curtiss Wright Enertech for over seven years. Management has a lack of vision in the aftermath of Fukushima, Japan. Promises and assurances were made to the employees, but still layoffs occurred (five rounds so far). An example of bad management is the operations manager. Perhaps he's a good engineer, but he's not a good manager or has any business aptitude. By laying off experienced workers in favor of newer and less experienced ones is just not smart. Plus, when your recent hires tend to be mostly based on your ethnic group or suggestions from close friends and not on qualifications/experience, something is not right. Perhaps, it's for the monetary bonus for getting people hired into the company. And that's probably why the company is failing. And the worst part is that the rest of management and HR turns a blind eye. There is also a lack of promotional opportunities unless you're in the inner circle. On the plus side, there are good and hard working people that will perform above and beyond to fill the gaps. But in the end, it's all about connections and favoritism."
