Pros

Flexible schedule at base maintenance. Good benefits

Cons

Most work is done at night, therefore most job positions are midnight shift. Holidays and weekends are covered as well so you may have to work them for many years.

Pros

The individuals you meet and connections.

Cons

Employees deserve leaders who foster trust, transparency, and psychological safety. During my experience, there were instances where concerns that were raised were minimized, dismissed, or reframed in a way that left employees questioning their own experiences and perceptions. This created an environment where speaking up felt risky and eroded trust between employees and leadership. When employees do not feel heard or supported, engagement, morale, and retention inevitably suffer.
