Good place to work, not much room to advance

Pros

Great benefits! Tuition waivers, 4 day work weeks in summer.

Cons

Low pay despite advanced degrees, too much upper management red tape with rampant nepotism! No way to advance one's career unless you know the right people and are favorite of management.

Pros

The focus on aviation and aerospace in phenomenal here. As an aerospace engineering graduate, I cannot recommend it enough. I am getting my masters in a state school right now. Even though the department is well known, the kind of connections you make at Riddle is unique. The availability of professors to answer question and take you on as a research student is amazing. Even state schools (with more funding) won't have that kind of opportunity. Is aviation is what you want to do, and you want to be an engineer, this is the place to be. From an employee stand point, the management has been great. It is not a typical college. Professors, who want to do research, are overloaded. It is a teaching school, not research focused.

Cons

Unfortunately, the good thing about Riddle is also its worst part. You are not going to have a normal college life (which was fine for me..I wanted a solid foundation in aerospace engineering). You will be surrounded with airplanes, airplane geeks, and a lot of focused single mixed people. The trouble is that if you are someone who is not so sure about their interests and are coming to college to explore, Riddle might be too intense for you.

Pros

As a flight instructor at Embry-Riddle there was never a lack of students or work. There was also many attractive benefits like free school as a full time flight instructor.

Cons

Some cons were long days at little pay, but the flight time was worth it for building hours to move on to another job or move up in management.
