Aerostar Reviews

Just like another poster has stated, positive feedback and praise is rarely given. Management does seem to focus more on the negative. This I can understand because the project managers are under a lot of pressure to keep their clients happy, and any sort of slip-up can possibly break any future business. However, I do feel that project managers need to do better at factoring the positive benefits of an employee's performance. Only focusing on the negative gives an unfair evaluation of an employee and thus hinder their chances of moving up in the company. I would be lying if I said that every employee was enjoyable to work with. There are a few who do have hostile attitudes. My own supervisor being one of them. Our working relationship did not start on a sour note, it was actually great working with this person in the beginning. However, as time progressed I started to notice more and more of a negative attitude my supervisor expressed. I can understand that a person will be upset when you make a mistake, however there needs to be a time that you need to get over it and move on, instead of holding a grudge. My supervisor would be spiteful at times and also showed favoritism to other employees. There were occasions that I was too nervous to ask them a question because I would not know how they would react. This person would be very helpful to one employee, but would talk down to me and treat me like an idiot when I needed. It would get extremely stressful working with this individual at times. There were moments I felt that no matter how hard I worked and how much I helped out to finish projects, it was never enough. Being treated like this can really make you feel unappreciated and depressed. This last con isn't just to Aerostar but to all consulting firms. The consulting business is highly VOLATILE. There can be one month where you are working non-stop, and then the next month you have nothing on your schedule. This unfortunately lead to the end of my time at Aerostar. You can never predict when you might be let go, but when happens it comes as a major surprise. I will admit it felt personal to be let go, but you can't look at it that way. When it comes to consulting firms it's all about the bottom line, so in the end they will have to do what's best for the company to stay profitable. I respected this for what it is, and I understand why they let me go (at least I hope I do, lol) . I will also say that if they ever ask for me to come back, I would return in a heartbeat.

Upper management makes you feel like you are worthless. You sometimes are gone for weeks at a time on travel. Unwilling to train people for new things. The office's culture runs on fear and negativity. Founder takes things way too personally. No more softball team.
