Pros

Good place to learn about how aircraft are built, tested and certified

Cons

- Frequent layoffs: I saw two in three years. The second one got me. - Extreme instability: I had three managers, two group heads and two directors in three years due to "restructuring". - Inhumane treatment of employees: They lay off people by deactivating badges all of a sudden, prevent you from entering premises, make you work hard to retrieve your own belongings. No personal calls from the manager after you are laid off. Not even to say good bye or thank you.

Pros

-Work in an air conditioned hangar! -All the tools and support needed to do the job -Excellent training available -Good safety culture -Fairly easy work -Lots of opportunities to grow

Cons

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
