Pros

Nice amount of PTO Some of the people are cool Fine place to stick around for benefits while looking elsewhere. They only took away 5% of our salary during COVID.

Cons

Design engineers get all of the mindless grunt work thrown on their backs. If you want to utilize your critical thinking skills, come up with new ideas, try new things, work as a team to achieve a goal, this company is not for you. The people in leadership who enabled that jumped ship years ago. Unless you're in a favored group, raises come slow, and they are sub-par. Expect less than a CoL increase every year and your purchasing power to weaken the longer you work there. Multiple people in leadership (Engineering and otherwise) there are more concerned about how things are perceived rather than the reality of the situation. They pushed down and out multiple people for not falling in line with how they want a situation to be perceived. Leadership plays the favoritism game quite heavily. I've seen people move up the ladder by stepping on their coworkers or the people they're supposed to lead. Secret yearly bonuses to the favorite employees. Random promotions in the middle of the year to the favorites. They always over promise and under deliver. This puts sudden massive burdens of work which move through every department in the building and stresses the entire system. Revolving door of management. Management comes and goes, sometimes out the door and sometimes with lateral moves. New people come in, replace one bad system with a new bad system, then pat themselves on the back for getting rid of the old bad system.

Pros

It was a great company to work for.

Cons

There was some compliance issues that needed to be addressed. Some of the old mechanics were used to doing things the way they "had always done them" same thing with training and other managers rather than reading the manuals so it led to customer issues. It could have definitely been avoided. AAR Corp took over and just laid off all the good people who were trying to make positive changes rather than interviewing anyone. So now they are stuck with all the ones that are in that "lets keep doing it the way we have always done it mindset". If they dont sell it or break it down for parts - I will be surprised.
