Absolutely terrible place to work

Pros

The individual people that you work with are a great bunch, who all pull together to achieve the best. This is despite the company structure and management lending itself to a completely ineffective performance of any task that it claims to be able to do. On the plus side, if you like work, you'll get lots of it at Gama Aviation. Lots and lots and lots of it, because every department is chronically understaffed. Also, if you like being disturbed on your days off- join Gama.

Cons

Salaries are some of the lowest in the aviation industry. This is the job that you do until you get another job. Not one single pilot at Gama Aviation is genuinely happy there. Technical defect with the aircraft? Don't write it in the book, because that is sure to generate an uncomfortable "chat" with management. Want to take holiday? Good luck getting the dates that you want. Think you're entitled to 28 days holiday? And 8 days off a month? You should be so lucky. Think you're finishing work at that time? Good luck! Got an idea to improve the way things work at Gama? Keep it to yourself, it'll get ignored. Gama is somewhere you work because you couldn't get a job anywhere else. Use the time that you are sitting in their office to fill in applications for other jobs, because no matter how hard you work there things will never, ever get any better.

Pros

If I dug really deep - I guess it be free parking

Cons

Low moral, very poor management. Too top heavy takes 30 people to pick up a biro! This place has so much potential and it is such a miserable place to work due to the Nazi outlook! Two face management makes the work enviorment undesirable.

Aviation is a small world so you have to be careful.

Pros

Positive, professional colleagues who give their best.

Cons

Minimal pay for unbelievable expectations. Although the company serves the affluent and charges plenty, nothing is shared with the employees who make everything happen. You work VERY hard and will not be recognized unless it is to be criticized. IT is underfunded & understaffed but does everything possible to keep systems up & running. Old white boy management team which is out of touch with the limited availability of outstanding aviation professionals.
