Pros

-Excellent pay -Challenging work -Great people to work with

Cons

-Lousy work life balance - whatever time off you get- use it before you loose it. -Senior Leadership is concerned about the profit they make not looking out for the people that help them to achieve their margins. -Training is on your dime. They want it but will not pay for it with their dollars. be prepared for this.

Thank-you for review. Not sure on the training budget, as Company offers good tuition reimbursement. Up to $10k. Feel free to pop by my office any time, as sliding door is always open. Let's keep 'em Flying! V/R, G-Man

Pros

Currently not many. They do have benefits..that is about it.

Cons

Maintenance is among the worst in the business. Low wages bring in the inexperienced only and the mx employees still with the company after many years are only there due to not being able to get a job elsewhere. I can't believe the FAA has not shut us down for that alone! Operations is just as bad. Lowest paying in the industry. And now hiring inexperienced guys to do Airdrop and NVG operations. (accident waiting to happen) Leadership....or lack there of. Palm Bay leadership is non-existent. They don't support field maintenance or operations. This is especially true for the last two to three months. New leadership has no idea what they are doing.
