Pros

They offer tuition reimbursement, besides that there are no pros to the job.

Cons

Low pay. If you take a concern to HR they dismiss it as false and claim you are lying. I work there for 4 months, I was not trained once like I was told I was going to be. I was told I was going to be making $18 an hour, first day on the job they told me I was making $15 an hour. When I asked if there was any wiggle room on pay they said “take it or leave it.” On my last day there during the interview I was able to bring up my concerns with HR and with everything I stated to the woman I was told I was lying and that there is one way that what I was saying is true. They were trying to say that I didn’t bring up all of my uniforms either and are trying to charge me for them. All in all, very disappointed in this company. If you are a young person with little to no responsibility then the low pay and long hours are great. But for an adult with a family the place is horrible. Most of the leads treat you with disrespect. Massive human resource issues with the Oklahoma facility. Would never recommend anyone to work there.

Hello, as I'm on this. Straight ahead, Greg "G-Man" Dellinger AAR HQ gdellinger@aarcorp.com 1-630-227-2074 14 November 2018 Update - OK, as promised action has rolled, and the uniform item looks/seems to be driving review. My thought is to just signal...all the best for future commerce/business activities. Blue skies, G-Man

Pros

good pay and that's it.

Cons

everything. where to start - new employees are treated like garbage. no vacation days until 6 months then you get 3 days.... for an entire year (sick/vacation). useless pto. no insurance... even though you are working for AAR they use a staffing company - which is still aar to get away with this. not paid for hours worked - manipulate hours/pay weeks in order to avoid paying OT. scummy leadership, favoritism, and unless you're related to or sleeping with someone in leadership - you will get laid off.
