Pros

If you want to work 70-8- hours a week for months on end and be treated like a pos by your manager then work for StandardAero Augusta.

Cons

i don't know if i could fit every one in here. The management is gutwrenchingly bad and bullying. Overtime is not asked, it is told at threat of jobs. They protect employees that lie and pencil whip inspections and go after the good guys trying to do things properly. The Falcon crew there has been on 60-80 hour weeks for at least 5 years straight now. There is zero training in the building and they have driven off virtually all of their long-term employees. Turnover is so high that employees with 5 years are considered old-timers there. If you have a family don't plan on seeing them often should you go to work there. They will force you to go on road trips, mke you work late, and management will take every weekend off (I haven't seen the Airframe or Engine shop managers there on a weeekend in several years but their crews live there it seems.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
