Pros

The only pro I can think of is the coworkers. They made the job doable and offset the negatives of management.

Cons

Company doesn't care about the engineers. You're just a dollar sign to them. Mandatory overtime and sometimes weekends too. I know engineers here who are doing 70-80 hour weeks. Poor work life balance. Interned with the company in the summer of 2015. Started full-time June 2016. Was laid off last week. Didn't even make it 5 months at this company. This speaks to this company's poor market analysis and planning skills. CEO doesn't care about the engineers, just wants his deadlines met. I would not recommend this company. You are just a warm body that is replaceable here.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
