Pros

Work with planes, meet good people and pilots.

Cons

Terrible pay for the work. 14.60 an hour for working in the heat and driving fuel trucks and moving planes all day is laughable. Other employees take the tips of new employees for many months.

Thank you for your review and feedback. The hourly rate that you reference in your review is somewhat dated as we have worked hard over the past year to increase our hourly rates to be as market competitive as possible. We know how important it is to have competitive compensation, benefits, bonuses, and growth opportunities. We look to fairly compensate employees in a total compensation package model including hourly rates, bonus opportunities, benefits, 401k with employer matching, and time-off. We regularly benchmark our benefits and have started to benchmark our compensation more over the past year to make more market-informed wage decisions for our locations. We carefully examine a number of factors, including specific job factors like tow certification, tenure, individual performance, local market and industry wage comparisons, and what is possible within Atlantic’s budget. We encourage those who have any questions or concerns about their pay, benefits, or any element of compensation to talk to their supervisor. We appreciate your contributions to Atlantic Aviation during your time with us and wish you all the best in your new role.

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.
