Pros

Its a great place to start out at if you're in school for licensing or former military looking to work commercial aircraft who do not yet have that. Some very skilled, talented coworkers who are wonderful to work with. Some great people solely in that aspect of working there.

Cons

Don't expect compensation for what you deserve. 160 hours PTO sounds great. Until you're burning those days due to lack of work. Until management has no answers when confronted and you're doing interiors/other work outside of the skill you're in the company for. Some leads are incompetent and unfit to be one. You'd find them sleeping or playing on their phone in the flight deck of the aircraft your line is responsible for. The rest of the time, they sit behind their computers giving the presumption they are doing their jobs, but, right there on their phones or flirting with girls walking around trying to do their jobs. Not engaged with the mechanics performing actual work. How some of those guys still have their jobs after being there for many years is crazy. The good ole boy club. You can be trash and survive in this company as long as you're one of them, so that might be another selling point to this place for some. Management doesn't care about the people they have working for them. There is so much disconnect from them to the ones making it happen that'll honestly make you wonder why this company hasn't gone under. No room for growth no matter the schooling/education you have. Don't ever ask about raises or anything else to make you feel valued as an employee, you wont find it from these guys. You'll be fed lines to shut you up. Do the time for experience and go on to the bigger airlines that will have the benefits you deserve and be valued as an employee. Not be a part of a company who is always hiring people, but, yet on the inside, their own is not being taken care of.
