Pros

The company has since renamed itself from American Eurocpoter to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. - A part of Airbus Group. ***** Medical Insurance was great. That was about it. FYI: -Your "base" salary will be lowered if you decide to purchase an extra week of vacation -Annual bonus at end of year -Merit raises here are higher than other companies in same industry

Cons

-Low pay, less vacation/personal time vs other companies in same industry. -90% of the people here were hard to work with, disrespectful, inexperienced, and worthless. Nobody has that technical capability or knowledge, especially of the products they build everyday. -If the company pushes strongly for healthier lives, then ban smoking on the premises. -A lot of other unprofessional activities that shall not be spoken about... -Bottom line - If you are young out of college, I highly recommend going to other companies. The experience you gain here (or lack thereof) will not get you anywhere and will not prepare you for opportunities elsewhere.

Pros

Great business, helping people. Not much else to say, can't even meet 20 word minimum, so I am rambling.

Cons

Dishonest Management, tells you one thing then does the opposite. Company ran to current quarters numbers, not meeting numbers, expect layoffs to follow, very narrow sighted. No loyalty to employees, expect to be thrown under the bus for managements' mistakes. Benefits are not good. Expect long hours no reward or recognition. Products have grown long in the tooth and are falling behind, and don't expect upgrades to happen quickly with cutbacks in R&D. I expect anyone going to consider working for this company are desperate. Any positive reviews on this company are from HR. Would rate this company a quarter star if glassdoor allowed.

Pros

Flexible work schedule; worked with talented individuals; worked on products that are used to save lives.

Cons

You know the old saying “too many chiefs, not enough Indians.” Leadership team takes no responsibility for their constant mismanagement. Not quite sure why they have an HR department. They’re worthless. No communication!
