Pros

Hours are ok, day shift starts at 5 so I hope you are a morning person.

Cons

Low pay, leadership is too focused on the wrong things. The 5 years I was there saw people getting fired for being late or missing days, but if you scrap 500,000 dollars worth of parts and oh well, guy scraps 3 $40,000 HC shafts in a 2 week period and his excuse is " I am tired from all the OT im working" gets 1 step of discipline The let a 10year guy [running the entire 731 rotor shop by himself] walk for 3 dollars an hr. They replaced him with 2 full time people and a third for most of the week. That cant make sense to anyone. The bean counters run the show and they constantly step over dollars to save a dime.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
