Instructor - Helicopter Instructor FlightSafety International Employee Review

Pros

After the most recent round of salary shenanigans, there is little positive to say about this company, West Palm Beach Center or Center Leadership.

Cons

Lying management. Bring talent in with attractive salaries, then at the worst possible oportunity, slice those salaries by as much as 20%. Bait and switch would be one way of describing their approach. Unfortunately, this measure doesn't actually address the staffing and training problems that will invariably create the need to relieve several teammates, probably by Christmas. The salary cut was far worst than any punitive cut exercised by the company. In those instances, a maximum of 10% cut was levied against an offending teammate if responsible for an infraction. The helicopter instructors at PBI were recently cut by 17% or more without having committed any mistakes beyond trusting the company to be run efficiently and effectively (which it no longer seems to be). This action has already had an impact on several of the high value customers that are now vowing to seek their training needs elsewhere.

Pros

PTO, somewhat of a 'decent' salary

Cons

Management, both in the center & corporate. The work tasks are too demanding for the BS pay we get. The verbal abuse we get from pilots. Management has zero issue letting you know when you've done something wrong but if they do something wrong.. nothing happens? Oh I'm away from my computer for more than 15 minutes and now I'm getting scolded by not being on the phone? We can't speak freely. We have to watch what we say on the phone cause everything is recorded. The St. Louis location is a joke, with their petty front desk staff & gaslighting managers. The only people who are cool in the St Louis location are their PM's. This whole company needs a redo. Oh & if you're a biological female.. you're not safe if a transgender woman wants to use your bathroom.
