Pros

I found some of the most comforting people whom I worked with at Cessna Aircraft. They truly are a big happy family out there. There is a large amount of diversity as far as ethnicity, but it never got in the way of getting the job done and having fun while doing it. I cannot count how many times I was approached at work just by people wanting to know how I was doing after a back injury I suffered on the way to work one morning. The attitude is upbeat, and of course there was a little horseplay, but for the most part I cannot think of a single uncomfortable experience I had at Cessna.

Cons

Some of the downsides to working at Cessna was, for me, the drive. I lived about fifty miles away, and worked a very early shift. However I was off work by 2:30pm every day. The work was very precise, but I had great teachers too. The drive to and from was the only downside.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
