Pros

If you want to work 70-8- hours a week for months on end and be treated like a pos by your manager then work for StandardAero Augusta.

Cons

i don't know if i could fit every one in here. The management is gutwrenchingly bad and bullying. Overtime is not asked, it is told at threat of jobs. They protect employees that lie and pencil whip inspections and go after the good guys trying to do things properly. The Falcon crew there has been on 60-80 hour weeks for at least 5 years straight now. There is zero training in the building and they have driven off virtually all of their long-term employees. Turnover is so high that employees with 5 years are considered old-timers there. If you have a family don't plan on seeing them often should you go to work there. They will force you to go on road trips, mke you work late, and management will take every weekend off (I haven't seen the Airframe or Engine shop managers there on a weeekend in several years but their crews live there it seems.
