Pros

1. The pay checks show up every two weeks. 2. Union rules dictate that you can be hired up to step 5. Don't let AMC low ball you if you have experience. Don't except anything less than than step 5, they will pay it because the pilot shortage is real. All experienced/military new hires are getting step 4-5. 3. I have a very short, perfect, commute....if it weren't for that I wouldn't work at AMC.

Cons

1. Old fleet of aircraft 2. Pay is average 3. Knee jerk reaction to anything the FAA says. My previous company worked with the FAA to make sense of FARs vs. Company Operating procedures. 4. Management changes frequently. 5. Do this or get fired mentality in company. 6. Indoc was "101 ways to get fired from AMC", not friendly and welcoming like other companies. 7. Pay is still slightly below most competitors. 8. Pilots have to be apart of the union. Union complicates everything. 9. CEO gives positives talks, but operations & mx are driven by $ and not getting in trouble with the FAA.

Pros

Only pro was the hiring process which consisted of two interviews and then an offer. That should have been the first red flag.

Cons

Private Equity controlled organization. No onboarding process or training provided. You are sent to their HQ for two days of learning how to turn your computer on and how to open a couple of computer applications. They are looking for a zero to hero hire. Be prepared. Tumultuous with lots of turnover. Was told this was a career-long role and in a couple of short months, the CEO was fired, the VP of sales took off. New executive leadership team created an environment of fear and layoffs. Lots of huge egos and very little tolerance for questioning poor business decisions and strategies. No attention given to the voice of the customer and what would strategically help move the needle. It really gives off the odor of a company trying to be sold.
