Pros

Decent pay. Nice equipment. You get to see a lot of the country

Cons

Most toxic environment I’ve ever worked for. Washed out EX military running the training department. No clear direction. Check airmen and supervisors literally making policy up on the run. Never in my life have been made to feel so stupid and inadequate. If you want your pilot carrier to get shut down, this is the place that it will make it happen. Turn over is incredibly high. For a reason. Keep that in mind.

Pros

-You will work with many intelligent and hardworking individuals who are passionate about what they do and generally care about each other. -Potential for growth within company. -Fast paced environment and growing company keeps you busy and always working on new projects/towards new goals. -Benefits have improved over the last 2 years.

Cons

-The culture infuses a mindset of 'always having to be on', creating a stressful work environment which causes burn out. Don't plan on taking vacation without your phone or laptop nearby. Before COVID, employees would arrive early and stay late in the office just to be 'seen' by management. Not efficient. It seems like leadership is out of touch with how the majority of employees view the culture. -Terrible communication across departments, creating mass confusion when new projects are completed and launched. -Unrealistic timelines/expectations set by individuals in leadership roles with insufficient knowledge of the level of effort to complete. -Departments are understaffed given the amount of competing priorities, causing employees to work long hours/over weekends. -HR and Managers do a poor job at communicating the important things that you would think are a priority (salary, promotions, bonus, etc..) -Leadership is not transparent with how or why certain decisions are made, causing employees to talk amongst themselves and make their own determination. -Politics result in some being put into positions based on who they know, not what they know.
