Pros

Reasonable schedule.Okay benefits.Work can be satisfying and challenging. Great co workers and fellow aviators.

Cons

Pay for my level of experience is poor.Have to put in O/T to make ends meet.Poor middle management leadership.Blame culture sustains the company.Trying their best to run operations as cheaply as possible and yet they boast of great strides in safety. Too many Chiefs overseeing a very dedicated but fast burning out bunch of Indians.Upper management constantly takes fat bonuses and stock options but won't give a raise to their employees even though the company made money in the worst of economic times.If it weren't for the pilots' union we would be at the mercy of HR.Outdated pay and accounting system.Poor IT support.Too much workload on the frontlines just to make life easier for people up the chain.

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.
