"A decent company to work for but there are union rules and regulations you have to abide by."

"If you enjoy working 40+ hours with moderate to high stress in an aged facility this place is for you. Benefits and pay are pretty good but work/life balance can be a struggle, especially if you desire to move up the corporate ladder. For my department, on-boarding and education are not standardized so you have to hope that your coworker that trains you gives you correct information. Also, the departments in charge of giving you a computer, monitor, and system accesses are slow to act and don't always do the best job."

"Good company to work for. Has a lot of good legacy ethics left from the Boeing days. I think the 737MAX troubles will go on longer than they are preparing for, and Spirit will have a hard few years ahead. (Jan 2020)"

"I've worked at Spirit Aerosystems for over 5 years. The company has a hard working culture, and a very strong engineering team.

"Worked with Spirit for about 8 years. Fast paced environment with a lot of challenges. Not very rewarding on the assembly management side, and the room for advancement is minimal as well."
