Pros

Great Pay. Good Benefits. Unlimited PTO for certain employees.

Cons

Nepotism Reigns here. If you do not have family in the company, you will be treated as if you are disposable. Do not expect to last very long. Racism also reigns here. It was made very clear to me that if the manager would have known my race before hiring me, he wouldn't have hired me. His own laziness got him when he missed the in person interview by taking an extended lunch and hired me because they were desperate to get knowledgeable people. It is also a very cut throat environment. They encourage you to stab your boss and fellow workers in the back, creating a very hostile environment. The people with family in upper management can do no wrong while good people are cast out like trash because they do not "dance the dance."

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
