Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Good place to work while looking for another job, starting a business, or thinking about another career.

Cons

The work schedule and work life is very much like "Groundhog Day". Too many managers to even remotely keep track of. You have pretty much zero responsibilities outside of flying the aircraft and making sure it is clean. Do not expect to be fulfilled or inspired by your day to day activities. There is no incentive to go above and beyond the scope of your normal duties because absolutely no one above you will notice. I don't think there is much room for advancement, I've never seen any job postings that would offer such an opportunity or met a manager who has even described a way to advance despite announcing interest multiple times. It's probably very similar to how a factory worker or 1950's coal miner feels. Show up, get paid, move on.

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.
