Pros

I have the old vacation plan so I get 5 weeks of vacation a year

Cons

The Managers in the front office are not great. They just want to push people out the door and get someone that will take less money and does a worse job.

Pros

Honestly there aren't many other than having met a few good co-workers.

Cons

Literally everything: Mismanagement, overworked, underpaid, no work life balance. A split culture exists between peons (hourly workers) and salary position employees. They will work you outside of your job description with no title change or pay increase. They will claim resistance to such is an indication that you are not a team player. It's a side show circus without true leadership. They canned hundreds of employees when they failed to adapt to the Boeing 737 max scenario followed by Covid.
