Disappointed in myself for staying as long as I did

Pros

If you manage to stay out of the war path (best of luck to you), it’s an okay place to collect a paycheck until you find a real job or career.

Cons

Aerovation has become a toxic environment that encourages backstabbing and, in my opinion, deceit. They are singularly some of the most morally objectionable people that I have had the displeasure to meet. Management is impotent in their ability to actually be leaders and role models for their employees, instead they take no responsibility for their personal failures because they feel that their position makes them immune to the incompetence that they are fully capable of and have more often than not demonstrated. If you are not designated the scapegoat, then you may instead be victimized when they are either found to be at fault or constantly harangued for a passed deadline or something that broke, especially if it is not in your department and you have absolutely no input in the project at hand.

I know that you had some hard times working for us. You also did a great job getting us through some hard times, which we all greatly appreciate. We had high hopes for you and thought you would do well. We clearly needed to work on our communication. I am sorry that I did not step in more than I did. Have you read the other reviews? Some of them are criticizing your management. My only suggestion is read the criticisms and address them head on like I will for Aerovation. I truly wish you the best with your new position. Thank you for your hard work. You were an excellent technician.

High turnover, low expectations

Pros

Can change your schedule to fit your needs

Cons

High turnover, when a project ends expect for them to start getting rid of anyone who isn't a managers favorite. Middle management does not typically treat manual shop employees with respect.

Although we made a layoff during the recession, we did not make layoffs during the time that I suspect you worked here. More likely, you were seeing people who were terminated for cause. Aerospace is a dangerous business; we cannot keep employees who do not take aircraft safety 100% seriously. Multiple employees were terminated for safety-related issue not long before you posted this review. If you were one of them, I’m sorry that it upset you, but the human lives are more important than people’s egos. I will have to disagree with you that we start getting rid of people at the end of the project. The company takes huge losses to keep our employees on the payroll even when we do not know how long it will be until we have a major project. I agreed with and took to heart your advice to senior management. We have made major changes to our middle management during the past year. We have a much stronger culture, and I am sorry if you were treated with undeserved disrespect. We (I promise you) are doing much better.

Pros

If you want experience you will get it here. Being a smaller scale company you get to wear many hats, no matter who you are. This is a huge benefit for growing your personal skills as well as your resume.

Cons

Not much to say, everyone has an issue with where they work, it's human nature. You will always have bad days mixed in with the good.
