Pros

They provide decent benefits and its a paycheck

Cons

Your ability to clock in for the day is dependent to you being able locate your lead, since you can't clock in till you have a job to clock in on. I've been early but because I could not find my lead been shorted 15 minutes for the day. This happens with some regularity. They allow people who don't work for the company (contractors) and aren't licensed to be leads. No one seems to care and the work is affected by this.

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.
