Pros

Work as much overtime as you want. Free coffee.

Cons

Incompetent management with incredibly short sightedness. The same good ol' boys club that runs operations. Never any innovation or planning. Falling short of projections is always blamed on the techs (work faster, smarter, harder). Leads are worked to death and tooling/equipment issues are never dealt with. No career path to speak of.

Pros

This is a great place to learn the ropes and really discover what it is you want to do within aviation. The company is large enough that you can move around to different divisions and experience a lot of diversity within the industry. You will meet the industry players and AAR is a great name to have on your resume.

Cons

The company fights to do business with itself. Every VP is concerned with their P&L without realizing they are making it difficult for the end customer to do business with AAR they see as one business even though it is operated separately. Management also is overly-concerned with titles and alter business decisions based on intracompany politics -even if it is not in the best interest of the company or customer. The employee is treated like an easily replaced asset and do nothing to retain their best employees. Pay is below industry average and benefits are too expensive for an entry to mid level employee.
