Pros

You're in an industry that is about safety of flight and proper pilot/maintenance training.

Cons

As the title suggests, nepotism is alive and well across the enterprise at FlightSafety. If you haven't been out drinking (or sleeping) with the right people, you will get passed over for promotions despite having arguably better credentials and work history than the competition. This is not specific to just one center or location as I had the opportunity to speak with and meet with people across the company with similar thoughts. It's a detriment to morale and the company as a whole. Competitors are seizing on this and poaching the best and brightest of the current employee lot.

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.
