Enjet Aero


I worked at Enjet for over for over 3 years and unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. Despite the high standards expected in aerospace manufacturing, this facility consistently failed to meet even the most basic benchmarks of quality and professionalism.

One of the most glaring issues was the unbelievable scrap rate. It often felt like more parts were being scrapped than successfully completed, which speaks volumes about the lack of process control, accountability, and effective management. Instead of learning from mistakes, the same problems repeated themselves day after day. The root of these problems lies in the deeply ingrained boys club culture at the top. Management was more interested in protecting their friends and maintaining their inner circle than fostering a competent  workplace. Decisions were rarely based on merit or data, and favoritism was rampant. Skilled and dedicated employees were often overlooked or driven out. While underperformers were shielded from consequences. The management is toxic. Open communication is discouraged, constructive criticism is ignored, and morale low. Management lacks vision, and any attempts to bring fresh ideas or improvements are typically met with passive resistance. I don’t see this company surviving for much longer. At the rate it’s going with the quality issues, poor leadership, and a culture that drives away good talent—I would be surprised if it’s still around in two years.




I was hired for a Driver  position, but the actual job duties were very different from what was promised. I was often assigned additional responsibilities that were not part of my role, which created confusion and unnecessary stress.

The work environment was difficult due to disrespectful behavior from some coworkers. Tasks were frequently pushed onto me, and I felt like I was being sent around to cover other people’s responsibilities rather than being supported as part of a team.

There also appeared to be favoritism from management toward certain employees, which affected fairness in workload and communication. I was often talked about behind my back, yet people would act friendly in person, which made the environment uncomfortable and unprofessional.

Overall, the lack of transparency, respect, and accountability made this a challenging and toxic workplace experience. I hope the company improves communication, leadership, and employee treatment moving forward.

Advice to Management:
Focus on creating a professional and respectful workplace. Address unprofessional behavior immediately and provide proper training for supervisors to handle conflicts fairly. Recognize employees for their contributions and create a clear path for growth.

Overall:
If you value professionalism, fair treatment, and a positive work environment, this may not be the place for you. The company has serious cultural and leadership issues that need urgent attention.



My experience with the company has been generally average. The organization maintains a structured work environment and clear expectations for employees. Day to day operations run relatively smoothly, and most processes are well defined. Communication from management is adequate, though it can vary depending on the team or situation.

The company offers opportunities to gain practical experience and develop professional skills, particularly for those early in their careers. Compensation and benefits appear to be in line with similar roles in the industry. Workload levels are manageable most of the time, although certain periods can be more demanding.

There are areas where internal coordination and process efficiency could be improved to enhance overall workflow. With continued focus on consistency and employee support, the company can maintain stable performance while gradually improving the overall employee experience.

This location New Britain is going through ruff times which they will fail to tell you during your interview or hire. You will find out what’s going on from other employees once in the door then regret quitting your last job. Management has a huge turnover don't blink, people are fired left and right which some were fired rightfully including some walk outs.  They are on 100% inspection with their main customer parts and are unable to meet their expectations because of scrap, experience workers and shipping bad parts. Reason why you won’t be able to work more than 40hrs continuously.Not a place you want to call home don’t think you won’t be watched eagles and hawks are soring in that place.

From lunchtime apartheid, to blatant segregation based on race, my only recourse was to simply walk out.  The people of color were relegated to menial tasks, regardless of education or qualifications.  The manager has a toxic way of addressing minor concerns in an adversarial manner.  He ran the place like he was a Sith Lord, using fear of verbal abuse to assert his will.  There were no people of color in higher positions, and no chance of promotion secured that this will always be the case.  The guy’s own son quit...

In my time there, the company went through 3 or 4 presidents and a multitude of managers. Some managers seemed to know what they were doing but most did not. For instance production planning, you’d be working on a job and the next day tearing it down. Communication is terrible and depending on what cell you’d be working in your job may be sitting for sometime or down for days. Some supervisors would leave throughout the day or not show up at scheduled times and on occasion bring family into the shop. The company fills hard working employees  with false promises and then screws them over. Coworkers there were great and very helpful. 

Expect to be hired for four 10 hour days but then required to work four 12 hour days. Off shifts have no one to help fix issues that may arise. Seniority means nothing. Seen a girl get hired for second management knew she wanted first but hired someone else for first. New kid gets hired thinks he knows everything, won’t listen and would rather watch movies on his phone then pay attention and do his job. People are dropping like flies so they have someone training that has a hard time running the machine himself. No raises in 2 years but within the last month they have bought 2 other companies out. 

Typical factory employment. PTO times are not earned until end of year. Decent pay, horrible insurance and leadership. Great co workers, not much chance for advancement. They do hire felons, They will tell you there is no forced overtime, but badger you until do. Pay starts when you clock in! They have extreme consideration for their salary employees and not much for the hourly employees. No on sight HR

The NB location struggles to ship, even late, due to quality issues.   And the issues are very very basic.  Always fire fighting.  No job order is smooth.  Corporate engineering and local engineering are not on the same page.

Production Managers watch you like a hawk.  The problem is production efficiency is not where they are losing their shirt.  But Leadership can´t see that.

Culture is terrible.  Watch your back.
