Pros

Meet some good people. You get to look at aircrafts and learn different things when you ask questions. Good work life balance. Overtime is offered on weekends, if you choose to partake.

Cons

Pay is not great for what is expected of you, and for everything you deal with, The company doesn't seem to offer programs to earn certs for some reason; so ultimately, workers in low paying positions feel stuck. Seems to be a popularity contest regarding professional growth, if there's a desire to move up the ladder, then you must put yourself in position to be a "yes" man to everyone you come in contact with. The company doesn't really help build the moral of their employees, they leave that to the employees to do individually; I was literally told by an acting manager that "we have to keep our moral up at work," which was very unfortunate to hear. Take nothing at face value here, they change plans like changing underwear, nothing seems to be set in stone; too much talk about something and no real action. They sold me a pretty picture when applying, "We're looking for people who want to have long careers here..." Sure, if you have a few years to spare before making decent money, for instance, being a dispatcher for over 5 - 10 years before becoming a planner, not ideal at all. This places has a gold medal in playing the "blame game," it doesn't take long for anyone to throw you under the bus, and they hand work off to the next person because they don't want to deal with it. Lack of recognition and acknowledgement, and when it is give, it's very "corporate" dry and not genuine.

Cons

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
