Where Workplace Culture Goes To Die - Anonymous employee AerSale Employee Review

If you’re looking for a workplace culture that embraces everything that was horrible about 1950’s management then Aersale is the place for you. You’ll love the yelling and screaming at employees and the public executions when you are perceived to have made a mistake. Pol Pot would have blushed at the level of dictatorial rule you’ll find at Aersale. F bombs fly around like rice on a wedding day. Threats are the order of the day, every day. Blame is always cast to the lowest level and praise is reserved for senior leadership. If a mistake is made and that makes its way to the CEO you may as well find a box and start packing. The CEO is, of course, exempt from criticism. He bought an airline that blew through cash like a lottery winner at a Vegas strip club. All told they wrote off about $20 million when it was finally sold off. Oops. He still got his $500K bonus at the end of the year, of course. Every day is a Groundhog Day of Keystone Cops. What was right yesterday is wrong today and, of course, your fault. There are people at Aersale whose sole purpose is to reinvent the wheel every single day. To be successful at Aersale means you will do and say anything that is consistent with totalitarian rule. You must fit the mold of “one of the boys”. Can you hold your booze and harass female employees? That’s a good start. Safety and compliance with any rule are at the sole convenience of the company. You must, of course, pledge you undying loyalty to the company. That loyalty, of course, will not be returned. They are happy to lie to you about reorganization plans and relocations of facilities and have storied history of doing so. They are happy to send you packing the very second things get dicey. This week they laid off 25% of their total staff. You’re called into an office and told to get out the door. Run, don’t walk, from Aersale.
