Pros

1. 401k Match 2. Pay increases since covid to keep up with market - Still not great! 3. Holiday Pay 4. Overtime is mostly an option. 5. Job Security 6. Having the freedom to quit this place.

Cons

1. About 80% of the mechanics are from Home Depot and Walmart. You will be working with people who cant spell "Wrench". 2. You are a # not a person. 3. If you ain't a "good ole boy", you will retire in your current position and never move up. Be prepared to get a little brown on your nose and play golf with the BOYZ. 4. As a certified A&P, its very difficult to move up since A&P's in this place is like GOLD. They will try and keep you as a mechanic unless you quit. I was cold shouldered on a promotion because they needed a senior mechanic to babysit all of the new employees from Home Depot. Remember that when you apply and ask for the most money possible if you have an A&P. 5. Healthcare sucks, its a high deductible plan like many other companies.

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.
