Pros

Getting tips from passengers. Be around airplanes. Fun coworkers. Allowed to pick up food for dinner in the crew car. Get great experience if you are interested in being a pilot or an A&P mechanic. Can go to any airport in the world and have the skills necessary to work on the line. Get in good physical shape. Get tan. Safety bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

Never having weekends off. Overtime mandatory so you rarely get your two days off. Required to work holidays. Several lazy coworkers who are never disciplined by management so they are always showing up late, calling out, disappearing in the middle of the shift, stealing tips, etc. Short staffed. High turnover. Incompetent general manager. Have to be outside in all weather conditions heat, humidity, rain, cold, cold rain, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is wonderful to read that you enjoy many wonderful perks that come along with a career in private aviation! We are disappointed to hear that your team has been impacted by the industry-wide labor shortage and that staffing issues have been stressful. Overtime opportunities and extra days off are intended to compensate and balance your workload, and management is here to provide support and resources when an extra hand is needed. Anyone who feels differently about their manager is encouraged to have a confidential conversation with Human Resources to share your concerns so we can ensure your manager is creating an environment that boosts and fosters morale and supports every employee on the base. Your contributions and dedication are deeply appreciated. ​

Pros

Health insurance benefits are solid and the company has an established corporate structure. Pay is consistent, but those are the only notable positives.

Cons

Local management is ineffective, unprofessional, and visibly disengaged. Direct leadership lacked initiative, accountability, and basic communication skills, often appearing indifferent unless corporate oversight was involved. Expectations were unclear and inconsistently enforced, creating a disorganized and frustrating work environment. There was a noticeable reliance on surveillance rather than leadership. After receiving a final warning, camera monitoring became excessive and felt targeted, as if management was more focused on finding reasons to terminate employees than actually supporting improvement. The overall culture is unsupportive and transactional. Employees are treated as expendable rather than valued, which contributes to low morale, lack of trust, and high turnover. Stronger leadership at the local level is clearly lacking.
