Pros

I cant recall there ever being any Pros.

Cons

After a while, you too will lack any sense of surprise. No bonuses, No pay, on occasion, and no hope. Finance Dept accidentally overpaid into many employee's 401k, once they discovered the problem, they snatched the money back along with whatever earnings were accrued, without employee consent. (ILLEGAL) The pay system has misdeposited employees pay into random bank accounts, several times, after employee called payroll, the employee was accused of theft. FAA regs are used as threats against personnel who are not management, once that level is achieved, the regs are used as punch lines. EVERYONE HATES WORKING HERE.

Pros

Growth Opportunities! The company is in acquisition mode and there is always so much to do. Excellent management (at Corporate)-easy to access management team including top management. Exciting Industry-branching out into new sub-categories of aviation. Very professional and conservative but friendly atmosphere. If you are driven, hard-working and a team-player, you will be recognized and rewarded.

Cons

Pay is average. It seems that new talent is difficult to attract because of this but once in the door, many people stay here for years.
