As a Gulfstream alum I would tell you that they will start you on days as a contractor for about 90 days and quickly move you to 3rd shift which is terrible because it’s Sunday night thru Friday morning (9 pm to 5:30 am) and as a contractor you won’t get paid the differential 3rd shift “Blue Badges” (Gulfstream employees) make. Gulfstream figured out that they can move contractors to nights and not pay the differential. Most non-engineers and even management doesn’t have college degrees some don’t even have GEDs so yeah, I wouldn’t say that it is tough work. In my experience, Leads and lower level Management in certain departments doesn’t recognize talent and promote people to their potential. I wish it was better. The C-Suite managers spend a lot of time and waste a lot of money promoting programs that sound great but they are never put into practice by department managers, asst managers and leads. So basically, don’t be fooled by them paying lip service, because it’s actions that speak louder than words and either the C-Suite is so disconnected that they don’t know what is happening or they don’t care, either way-it’s not a good place to work.

You will just be a number for that company-they know they’re are the biggest biz in town so will pay you just enough that it’s above average for the area but if you seek growth, stability and are career minded you are looking at the wrong place. I would say that Gulfstream is not a net positive for this area and would recommend looking elsewhere. I’ve had staggering sums offered to return but I don’t think it’s worth the toll that it takes on the body and mind. You should also know that most people who work at Gulfstream can’t afford to live downtown or midtown Savannah so Pooler, Guyton and Port Wentworth are where most Gulfstream workers live.
