Pros

Small company so high visibility

Cons

Toxic management culture Values are just wall decorations. Poor pay No recognition No merit increases No performance reviews No objective scale for performance measurement or rating. Bonuses completely subjective and as per manager discretion.

Pros

Great place for learning Airbus A320 series aircraft. Great for the young folks just getting started. Benefits are above average. Pretty laid back, but we got the job done.

Cons

Management was not on the ball with those who had a poor work ethic, which made it harder for those that came to work, adding to the work load. Pay can always be better, as with any job. But it was hard to keep the good guys...the majors make way more money. Nature of the beast, I guess.

Pros

The pay can be decent. The experience obtained from doing heavy maintenance on the aircraft is invaluable.

Cons

The management could care less about its employees. The turnover rate is so high that they are forced to bring in people who have never picked up a tool let alone worked on a plane. HR likes to hire back people they have fired before and refuse to hire back people who quit and tried to come back as a contractor. Some of the inspectors make it harder on the mechanics by rejecting them for little things and not actually working with them to get the plane out on time and safely. MOST of the supervisors frankly just sit around smoking on their vapes and on their phones and then turn around and complain that those under them are not doing things fast enough. Frankly it is all just a good ole boy system.
