Review - Mechanic Northern Air Cargo Employee Review

Pay is good, Crew scheduling always try their best to accommodate your work schedule.

Management needs to get their stuff together

4-10's work schedule (sometimes), flight benefits, good medical insurance options, employer matched 401k, good place to get experience in the industry before so you can build your resume and work for a better company...if you still want to work in aviation when you're done.

The company wants to be a large company and compete with larger carriers, but it is not that. Wouldn't be a huge deal, but they treat employees like it's a huge airline and not a small, homegrown Alaskan company. End result is management is disconnected from the workers, nobody seems to care about getting to know employees because there's a sense that high turnover is to be expected. So you get no benefits of working for a small company (like close relationships with managers or a sense of being on a team) and you really don't get benefits of working for a huge company (small workforce so PTO puts everyone in a pinch, no breaks during a 10 hour shift, etc).
