Pros

It's a great place to get experience and learn about Aviation. If you're getting your A&P license while you're here, this is the spot. The only thing is, you don't want to stay long term.

Cons

Go to another company as fast as you can, this company doesn't value it's employees at all. Everyone is disposable and lay-offs are constant.

Okay. Got it, & THX for review/post. Also everybody, the A&P is a certification, as opposed to a licensure. The "A" & the "P" are the ratings. Keep trying to uplift that. Switching gears, outside of the Miami station, actively hiring R/E Techs for the new RFD center. Apply today, should another chance be given on your end. Again, thank-you, & blue skies! V/R, G-Man
