Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't be fooled by the tempting salary offer. You WILL work many long days in an unpleasant factory."

What don't you like about working at Ducommun?

"It is a union shop, and therefore full of lazy workers with few good ones.Management does not enforce rules fairly or run the shop well. Many supervisors are incompetent and uneducated, and can barely write well. They need more techincal and communication skills.Not much potential for growth, many engineers are stuck in the same position for many years and must look elsewhere for growth.Most salaried employees are expected to work long days and even weekends without any extra compensation."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Wake up and get rid of the dead weight. Stop keeping people around that lack real ability to solve problems and manage employees.Take a look at leading aerospace manufacturers and follow their example."
