Pros

Metro genuinely cares about its employees. It feels like a close-knit community and a place you are proud to work. The work is very niche in the aviation space. Great 401k matching and health, dental, and vision insurance does not cost you.

Cons

For your first 4 years, you only accrue 40 hours of vacation time every year (1.67 hours a pay period). You get paid twice a month, instead of a normal every 2 weeks, so between paychecks takes more management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company culture focused on quality and growth. Yearly salary increase with no top out (That I am aware of). Opportunities across the country. Above average communication quality with and emphasis on top down information distribution.

Cons

Hard to have your voice heard if at a lower level and actually see results. While I have excellent mid level management, I think that upper management is very hard to reach.
