Pros

Currently not many. They do have benefits..that is about it.

Cons

Maintenance is among the worst in the business. Low wages bring in the inexperienced only and the mx employees still with the company after many years are only there due to not being able to get a job elsewhere. I can't believe the FAA has not shut us down for that alone! Operations is just as bad. Lowest paying in the industry. And now hiring inexperienced guys to do Airdrop and NVG operations. (accident waiting to happen) Leadership....or lack there of. Palm Bay leadership is non-existent. They don't support field maintenance or operations. This is especially true for the last two to three months. New leadership has no idea what they are doing.

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.
