Pros

Independance. Able to come and go for the most part. This is great as long as things run smoothly.

Cons

Beware when they ask you to " be a team player " or " step up to the plate " On call 24 / 7. Managers would pile the workload on even against their own Operations Manual. Every time my area manager was gone the regional manager starts calling for favors and he knew I was busy. He had me going so fast mistakes were made.Top it off, other aircraft was sent to me from other bases, fresh from inspections and defects so bad the pilots would ground it instantly. There were days I inspected or repaired up to 5 aircraft. THIS BECAME COMMON. When I compained, I was told to just be quiet and fix them. I was wrote up and fired for being unprofessional. The next week my area manager was gone. Our family sold our home and relocate at great expense and won't recover the losses for years. I still kick myself for being so gullible. I have never lost a job in my life but if you pisss off the wrong person here you will. I have no idea what I did even today?

Pros

Solvent, stable company. Upgrading the fleet with new aircraft and equipment. Up until recently, always got paid properly and on time.

Cons

My job has very little to do with flying anymore. Most of the duty time is filled by doing jobs that people in Corporate were hired to do. Most of the offices in Denver have insulated themselves from their responsibilities and placed them squarely on the worker bees. Pilots, mechanics and medical folks spend their days making reports and tracking information that department heads in Denver were hired to do. HR is probably the most useless department in the whole company. Not only do they hire some of the most undesirable employees, they do nothing to correct the problem when the need arises. Plenty of management, no leadership!!!
