Pros

Loved the employees that I worked with. It made going to work such a pleasure.

Cons

This is a place for those who are apart of the "good ole boy" club. Raises aren't based on individual performance. It is based on the overall department you are assigned to, which make it very unfair for those that performed over and above. Not very stable at current. It was a good company in the beginning, but has slowly but surely dwindled because of incompetence of senior leadership.

Outdated and inflexible company culture

Pros

.Cool airplanes, competent and committed Engineers striving to do the right thing.

Cons

Greedy and stubborn management culture obsessed with schedule. Short sighted and authoritarian leadership. Biased, parochial and incestuous culture. Talk of diversity inclusion, best company to work for, but Club membership is required, and lasts as long as the only answer to orders is yes. Promotes sheep and sheep dog behavior masked with "coolness", pride and arrogance.

Pros

Excellent vacation benefits. 2 weeks vacation and 1 week personal business your first year that start as soon as you are hired.

Cons

This is the definition of a dead end job. There are almost no growth opportunities at this company. Lateral movement between different airframes is not allowed. There is a mountain of policies and SOPs that you must know and follow...or else! Forget about common sense. If you were to follow every policy to the letter your day would consist of talking about being safe more than actually doing any work. Management believes they can put enough policies in place to protect even the most incapable employees. If a new hire is terrible at their job they aren't fired, they are told that it's not their fault and the more senior employees haven't trained them correctly, basically zero personal responsibility. Aircraft mechanics are viewed as commodities: you can train any person with an A&P to do this work. There is no acknowledgement of talented individuals, they are simply a mechanic was well trained. High achievers and those with a strong work ethic are paid marginally better than a hack. Their is no real pay for performance or incentive to work hard other than your own work ethic.
