As one of the engineers that has worked at Arctic Cat for the past 7+ years I can vouch the following: Textron eliminated engineering at the Arctic Cat facility in St. Cloud - they gave relocation options to the 20+ engineers in St. Cloud to move... —  read more

I don’t understand how people seem surprised when a round of layoffs occurs at Textron. With the company’s track record of over-hiring then cutting people as part of cost reduction, working at a fast food restaurant would give a person better job... —  read more 

I’ve been with Textron for a few years and while it is mostly a good company to work for, there is a major flaw that needs fixing right now. Main focus to try to develop leadership is placed on new candidates in the workforce. While they are the... —  read more

Do you think that our executives will make a decision to cut people in Providence Rhode Island.

It's going on again. Local management ordered overtime and a request for contract help to meet schedule on the new plane scheduled to come out by the end of the year. Corporate sends their finance auditors and tells local management to cut out the... —  read more 

Textron's philosophy is layoff to meet quarterly numbers and then hire new college grads for less money. I like the idea but they are doing it at such a rapid pace they will be laying off the new hires from this year in just 8 years. Not to mention... —  read more

More info on Systems layoffs this week ....Not good

I was a 12 year employee with no discipline issues. I was thanked for my 12 years of loyal service, then told the company was moving in a different direction and that I no longer fit the culture. Classic BS line. The truth is that I had a month... —  read more 

The system supposedly would be based on performance, accidents, attendance etc and that if there were other jobs within the company you might b qualified for you would be told. Well as we all know now that was not done. They kept all these young... —  read more 

Worked for texted for 12 years, worst company ever only because of the sorry leadership. The company always seems to promote people who are uniquely unqualified to lead. There is way too much good old boy networking.

I got hit by Textron layoffs twice. This last one was from one of their industrial companies. It was announced that one of their plants were going to have as many as 30% of their working people let go. No management, just the people who actually do... —  read more

11 years with the company. Horrible management. Too much favoritism. Micro management. Afraid to discipline minorities. Management never listens to employees when making complaints to HR. Will always back the member of leadership. Extremely poor... —  read more 

Worked at Textron for four years, got out mainly because I was not satisfied with benefits, but it wasn't the best environment eather. Cold war between millenialls and older employees, a lot favouritism, and frequent change in upper managment causing... —  read more

I just do not think they are into developing us

Most of us expected this to happen, HOWEVER nobody expected the layoffs to be this wide and this deep. Overall, we all know things need to change and we ought to get leaner, but 700+ people for a relatively small corporation such is Textron in the... —  read more
