Pros

Good to know A320 family.

Cons

Low salary and They had discrimination between French speaker and non-French speaker. most of project manager, chief and inspectors tend to give good task to French speaker. if you are non-French speaker, you would get dirty and bad job at least for 1 year and hard to fill out your logbook. HR has to figure out why non-French speaker quit easily here.
