Pros

Most aircraft are factory brand new. Usually less than 10 hours total time on airframe

Cons

I give them one star on all ratings because I can’t go lower.

Pros

On site medical facility that does not cost anything if you are enrolled in the health plan.

Cons

Upper management a shambles. Deep in debt and no plan to get out of it. Blame the worker if they are lacking parts for non payment. Expect workers to work long hours and still blame them for failing. Unrealistic schedules. Extremely poor engineering that has and will not be addressed by management. Every talented person that has ever worked there was and is overworked, most have left. Forget challenging bad choices by management they will fire you. If you are actively looking for another job they will fire you instead of finding a way to keep you.

Pros

- Public and industry perception of Comlux is mostly positive if you care about that stuff - Building looks nice from the highway - No planes modified by Comlux have crashed - Some great people, but really need the job so they are real chickenshits when it comes to challenging the constant ridiculousness of the company - Pay money on occasion - Are a business that provides jobs in the Indianapolis metro area - Christmas parties were always pretty sweet

Cons

- People forced to work overtime for free - Workers and executive team might as well be in different countries (are they?) - Lack of true innovation from top to bottom due to fear of not making money, so nearly everything done in engineering is stolen IP from the various places the engineers have worked over the years ***news flash, you’ve never made a dime off a single plane*** - Business model was never truly formed so motivational speeches from the executive team were continually required to prevent people from walking out due to complete lack of success - They follow the industry standard of delivering 1-2 years late on every program - One of the few companies that still practices strict in and out times and forbids internet surfing during business hours - Engineering will do a lot of great work and planning in their designs only to find out in house manufacturing can’t fabricate any of the designs so they change the designs and have engineering reverse engineer them - This company lives in the same world as all formerly great aviation companies where most of the really great work of the past has been forgotten and replaced with piecemeal renderings based on memories of the good ol’ days - The company is set up with a shorter career path from unskilled technician to CEO than degreed engineer to CEO due to the history of the industry (this fuels my advice to management below)
