Pros

Geographical location. Lots of Pubs, taverns, and eateries. Some exceptional mx technicians.

Cons

The Cleveland facility is a complete shambles. Dark, dank, dirty. No organization, no planning to speak of, no leadership from the floor up. Quality, No. Scheduling, uh.. nope Inventory, What's that? Network server, duh.. what for, tribal knowledge is fine. Unrealistic expectations abound. Run, don't walk... this is no place to be if you enjoy a good night's sleep.

Pros

HAD great benefits, competitive pay, fun and knowledge coworkers and a spirit of family and innovation.

Cons

First, it hasn't been Bombardier since '13 and became even less Flexjet afterwards. Acquired by Directional Aviation Capital, but may as well have been Flight Options. They brought their knowledge, experience and shady reputation, which had kept them on the verge of bankruptcy for the better part of 10 years, to Flexjet in December 2013. It's been downhill since. Questionable accounting (rumor has it that the DAC principal, Ken Ricci, funnels his personal expenses through the company..i/e patio furniture for his house on the beach in Mexico). Laid off most of the experienced personnel (thought they were overpaid), flat lied when the acquisition occurred (two separate storefronts), balked at 401k matching, implemented an antiquated computer system (though the one Flexjet had was more than adequate), will not backfill open positions at Flexjet (but they open the positions in Cleveland), overly secretive (probably due to not knowing how to run a successful company and not having the ba!!s to say, eventually Flexjet will be nothing more than a new name to tarnish. RUN, don't walk from this place!!! That includes ANY customers.

Pros

No positives about this company except coworkers. There is a tremendous amount of talent and experience and we all should move on

Cons

They do not operate with integrity and it starts with the chairman. Unless you are a pilot, I would not recommend working here, although the writing is on the wall. The pilots are loosing their influence .. you need representation.
