Dysfunctional Company in a Growing Industry - Pilot Remote Imagery Technologies Employee Review

Good Benefits, Salary, and Vacation Time

Promotions come only from longevity rather than competency meaning management is comprised mainly of people who are under qualified and oversee employees who are better educated, have more relevant experience, and are often better equipped to lead than management at the highest levels. There is a ton of travel for months at a time and when you are not traveling, you are commuting 100 miles each way to work from Las Vegas.

3 day weekends (when you're home)

Legitimate chance of you getting seriously injured or dying on the job in certain locations. Pay is not competitive. All positions in the company pay MUCH less compared to the similar or same jobs elsewhere. No professional development or career growth. This is not a place where you will learn anything new, or get the opportunity to advance in your career. Promotions are few and are given based on favoritism and longevity, not competence and skills. This is a great job for someone without any drive to do better and is okay with being complacent and content. Benefits such as the 401k are sub-par compared to other employers in the industry. 1.5 hour drive each way to work on a normal day. 3 hours of your day total spent in your car. Not paid correctly for travel trips. Will have you working up to 16 hour days and only compensate you for 8. You will spend months (3-4) away from home in horrible places all while companies doing similar or the same job are compensating their employees far better in terms of both benefits and pay. Complete lack of leadership in most departments. From Admin all the way down to Maintenance, there is a lack of good judgment, morals, and competence. A majority of the work here does not count in any way shape of form towards currency in regards to any aviation certificates (Pilot certs - hr building, Aircraft Maintenance - AP/IA)
