Pros

It has benefits, 401k, insurance. You can learn about aviation.

Cons

They have no regard for safety to the planes they build that are going to FLY IN THE AIR, by hiring people whom never had aviation experience, train them for two weeks, pay them $12-$14 an hour to start and expect them to put together a $500,000 motor in very rushed amount of time because Piper ended up going with a company to purchase their engines to save a few thousand dollars per engine, Which I understand, but, in turn was not at all a wise idea, because the product doesn't work correctly. They are having to back track and go back to the company they originally purchased their product from. Employees are constantly getting yelled at to rush the work - WHICH is not having any regard for people's safety whom are going to fly the plane or purchase them. Why would you rush work on a plane that fly's in the air. The managers are seriously mean and rude to the employees. I don't know what happened, but they seem to forget their is an etiquette on how to treat your employees. They sell these planes for hundreds of thousands of dollars and they pay their employees $12 - $14 an hour. They say in the beginning when they hire you - you will get raises. Don't count on it. They do not give an hour lunch. They threaten employees if they do not work Saturday or Sundays that they will charge their PTO. Management after all these years has gone down the drain. They are angry. The owners are not appreciative of their employees. The higher ups literally come in all the time and instead of saying hello or whatever they immediately bark. So if you are looking to get underpaid and not feel appreciated then work for Piper.
