Pros

Entrepreneurial atmosphere and ability to easily move around within the company as desired. The Company has a strong desire to retain employees and keep them motivated.

Cons

The commute to the suburbs near O'Hare Airport can be a bit stressful given the surrounding traffic. Compensation was a bit light relative to the market for this position.

Decent Wage and located in a great place to live.

Really bad management. Good old boy system. Toxic environment and frequent lay offs. No raises. Same work load with fewer people.

Pros

Most of the people are good. It's not a Charles Dickens novel come to life (I think).

Cons

The company was founded in the 1950s, and it seems like it still the 1950s at AAR once you have been on the scene for a short time. It's boys club. A white boys club. There are only a few women in manager or higher positions. Then they are mostly white. It is impossible to move up there unless you know or are related to someone high up. Mainly the CEO, who seems like he is itching for a hostile take over or buy out. Benefits and time off also come from the 1950s. Any change comes grudgingly. Unless it comes from the very top, and that usually comes with lay offs and / or renovations that cost in the high six figure range. Raises trickle in.
