Pros

I'd been struggling with personal health issues and they were still willing to take a chance on me. I get to work 4/10's. I needed a real full time job and they gave it to me. There is no shortage of work that I can see. They have an extensive training regimen before you can start on your own. On multiple occasions I have been stopped by other employees and informed that opportunities exist should I wish to move up. Oh and they respect my fellow veterans and I for our service.

Cons

The mailing of the paychecks. I was able to sign up for direct deposit a week after I had started. However I was informed by pay roll that I had missed some sort of a cutoff, and that my next three or four paychecks will be mailed. Now I'm waiting for checks in the mail three to five days after payday. That wasn't the only pay issue that I had. I was shorted a days pay on my last paycheck and that required a lot of runaround to get resolved.

Pros

Great 7am-3:30pm schedule with plenty of overtime depending on the workflow.

Cons

Pay is really low and the raises every year are a joke.

Hello, as thank-you for your note. I always work hard to greet and treat one and all with a real zestful, positivity. Very happy that scheduling works for you, and that there is solid opportunity for OT:) Switching gears, with Check-Ins on the near horizon, perhaps consider working with your manager to strategize around development goal for charting a course towards advancing overall comp. Just a thought on my end... Blue skies friend, Greg "G-Man" Dellinger AAR HQ, near Chicago, Illinois, USA gdellinger@aarcorp.com
