Pros

Wood Dale is a beautiful facility. The spent alot of money renovating the building.

Cons

IT Department has been understaffed for years. They won't hire needed personnel and would rather overwork their current employees.

5/22/18 UPDATE, as had the opportunity to visit with Kevin (CIO). Having such a spirited, entrepreneurial culture, it's pretty cool that we get to work so many dynamic items. Of course that rolls into staffing, yet if we really continue to #WorkAsOne , our continued conviction around digital services will deliver the vision, on layering digital capabilities and services. #BlueSkies friend, G-Man

Pros

good pay and that's it.

Cons

everything. where to start - new employees are treated like garbage. no vacation days until 6 months then you get 3 days.... for an entire year (sick/vacation). useless pto. no insurance... even though you are working for AAR they use a staffing company - which is still aar to get away with this. not paid for hours worked - manipulate hours/pay weeks in order to avoid paying OT. scummy leadership, favoritism, and unless you're related to or sleeping with someone in leadership - you will get laid off.
