This is a stepping stone company in my opinion. If you've been in the field stay away - Simulator Technician FlightSafety International Employee Review

Pros

Free coffee and training for the simulator technician field. Good health benefits and great people to work around

Cons

The pay is below industry standards. You can take a lesser position at another company and make more than your current position in the company. There is not enough manpower for the amount of simulators that we have. The crew that we have work their tails off and keep things barely running effectively, but we seem to find a way to get it done. The hiring process is slow so when people quit or advance it takes them awhile to fill their positions. There is no formal training, but you get good at fixing things because they break constantly. The wiring throughout the simulator is poor workmanship. The engineering prints are horrible. This is not a quality product that they are putting out and expect the simtechs at the sites to make it a quality product. You don't have time to fix things on the simulator when management wants to block training time and you're in the middle of work. There is much more I just don't have enough space and time to write them out.

Pros

PTO, somewhat of a 'decent' salary

Cons

Management, both in the center & corporate. The work tasks are too demanding for the BS pay we get. The verbal abuse we get from pilots. Management has zero issue letting you know when you've done something wrong but if they do something wrong.. nothing happens? Oh I'm away from my computer for more than 15 minutes and now I'm getting scolded by not being on the phone? We can't speak freely. We have to watch what we say on the phone cause everything is recorded. The St. Louis location is a joke, with their petty front desk staff & gaslighting managers. The only people who are cool in the St Louis location are their PM's. This whole company needs a redo. Oh & if you're a biological female.. you're not safe if a transgender woman wants to use your bathroom.
