Pros

Depending on base and willingness to have awful hours flying debateably airworthy airplanes for awful pay in awful locations (BFE Texas, etc.) you can build a decent amount of turbine time in a relatively short amount of time. You will work 5-6 days a week. If you live somewhere desirable you won't be able to afford rent and food, just like the first year of any regional.

Cons

Crumbling airplanes, perpetually junior maintainance teams (high turnover) due to poor pay, bottom line centric management with no regard for pilot rest, welfare, working conditions or paying a living wage, very few in the training department with any willingness to actually train, very few days off and extremely long duty days often times with "outstation rest" meaning you have one day off a week. If you can work anywhere else flying a turbine for the same or better pay, do it.

Pros

The director is a great guy and is an advocate for the specialists. It was a relatively easy job. Good job for somebody right out of college.

Cons

No company culture. Old and Cold atmosphere. Horrible communication, outdated systems. “This is how we’ve always done it” attitude. Turnover rate through the roof in IT and MX, so few things can ever be completed or done correctly. Very old aircraft leading to MX problems and cancellations. Commissions are way below average and the market is very volatile. Do not expect to make 80-100k, more like 50k after taxes. No room for growth. Insurance is bad.
