Pros

Company has a lot of potential. Great company benefits. AOG desk / team makes good money.

Cons

Any negative reviews, prompt a internal email blast instructing all employees to post positive reviews. Top Heavy Company there is a VP to every 6 to 10 employees. Upper Management makes large and hefty salaries, while they try to pay as little as possible to employees. Don't expect a rise even after a couple years of employment. Upper Management are Social butterflies, corporate events and socialization are the primary concern. Do not expect to get promoted from within. There is no middle management, only employees and VP's. Some VP's treat their staff very poorly. You will not be a VP without a degree and many years of past experience. Company and Executives pride themselves with stealing executives from other companies and wants the rest, to "try out" for positions like trying to get a job a Google or Microsoft. You will not get hired unless your know someone. The company is ran with enormous and some time unrealistic goals at any cost or be concerned about your job. The rest is paper pushing, sign off's, even in the Quality Department, by individuals sometimes with absolutely no clue what they are signing off on. All the divisions where purchased with leverage, nothing was created nor built. Produce, produce, produce, no concern with preventive or corrective actions, unless an auditor finds it. Violations with with regulatory bodes. Fund raising comes from employees pockets, such as Friday jeans day or raffles with items from trade shows or customer holiday gifts to employees, which must be turned in to HR for raffles.

Pros

CEO has vision, the business, like many others post CoVID-19, grew tremendously and outpaced its competitors in market share. They have good fundamentals and good relationships which helps the business stay relevant in a very crowded market of aftermarket aviation parts/MRO companies. They value hard work (for the most part) and reward those who work extremely hard (for the most part).

Cons

Never have I ever witnessed so much nepotism in my life in one company. People who should not be working in any fortune 100 company, are frequently promoted due to familial ties with ownership, and loyalty is valued heavily. Merit does have value in some promotions, but the majority of movement or awarded positions (roles created etc) are either for family members/close friends. It is very much a good boys club, and it is difficult for an outsider to feel welcomed. The certain demographic that prevails is largely what is promoted and made to feel as the only ones who posses value. If you think different, and don't subscribe to failed methodologies, you will be ostracized by incompetent leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We genuinely appreciate hearing both the positive aspects of your experience and the areas where you feel we have fallen short. We’re glad you recognized our strong market position, customer relationships, and the hard work of our team—especially during a period of significant post-pandemic growth. Scaling at that pace is never simple, and it’s encouraging to hear that some of those efforts have been visible and meaningful. At the same time, your concerns around favoritism, inclusivity, and consistency in how opportunities are awarded are taken seriously. We are committed to building a workplace where advancement is based on merit, performance, and leadership capability—not personal relationships. Creating a culture where every employee feels respected, included, and able to contribute different perspectives is critical to our long-term success, and we recognize there is more work to do in this area. You also raised important points about process discipline, accountability, and the balance between short-term performance and long-term scalability. As we continue to grow, strengthening standardized processes and ensuring consistent adherence across all levels of leadership is a priority. Sustainable success requires both strong execution and a willingness to evolve, and we are actively working to improve in both areas. While we may not agree with all characterizations in your feedback, we do value the underlying themes and the opportunity to reflect and improve. Feedback like yours helps inform ongoing efforts to strengthen leadership alignment, reinforce our values, and ensure we are building an organization that supports both performance and fairness. We wish you the best in your future endeavors and appreciate the time you took to share your perspective.
