Good place
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI dig it here. I love to weld so it’s not really “work” and the days go by fast. We are union so that has its pros and cons. Feeling the stress of upcoming contract negotiations now. Just being left it a state of wonder. Honestly if the contract stayed the same I’d be fine with it. I really don’t have any issues with the current contract. I’d like to keep coming to work and make that money.
Pros
Overtime.
Cons
Some really annoying people

Bully culture
Welder (Former Employee) - Barrow-In-Furness - June 15, 2022
Bully culture and ble culture, no team work and contractors are not liked either, on a positive note the projects are good, better management is required

Worst place I’ve ever worked
Welding Inspector (Former Employee) - Aiken, SC - December 30, 2021
The worst place I have ever worked. Micromanaging on all levels. Revolving door of employees. People in supervision that has no business in that role. Forced to get vaccinated then told it’s not a requirement.
Pros
Child bonding time of two weeks for new child
Cons
Just don’t work there. It’s the biggest regret.

T/A (2nd Class Welder) (Current Employee) - Henderson WA - November 19, 2019
Great to work here.
Good conditions
Good policies and work/life balance
Lots of duplication and crossover between
Currently too much change which is disruptive, not adequately planned/coordinated and impacts to employees underestimated.

Okay place to work
Started at bae as an apprentice. applied for voluntary redundancy 8 years later and didn't look back. They seem stuck in old ways of doing things. Often treat workforce like children.

Hard but mostly enjoyable
welder (Former Employee) - Glasgow, SCT - February 20, 2015
get your task for the day ahead and left to get on with it. how to communicate with all levels of authority and respect for others,how to work as a individual or part of a team,the management could be firm but fair,the co workers were the ones that made the company a place you enjoyed going to work,the hardest part of the job was managing times for deliveries between runs,the most enjoyable part was knowing that you had done your best and a lot of gratitude from co workers
