Pros

Flexible schedule. Allows alternate schedule opportunity. Salary is ok.

Cons

What you get for flexible work hours you lose in salary, opportunities, and fear of layoffs. Always broke, layoffs every 2-4 years. Really have to buy into the " your lucky to have a job work harder and you won't have to worry about it" mentality. Management heavy, only care about employees who want to be managers. Have no clue how to mentor individual contributors. Play favorites have no clear promotion guidelines, depends all on your boss to promote you and they have to argue with other managers why you deserve it even though they don't know you. Literally have no mission statement or values. Which plays into the shoot from the hip policy's they implement. Seems to just be figuring it out as they go. At least 30 percent of your job if not more is overhead. Training interns and contractors or vendors. Don't invest in IT. Brag about having one of the lowest budgets for IT at a large company level. Have even flirted with making IT employees buy their own laptops for work. Have a program for incoming new employees for leadership just have to sign up they have no qualifications outside of other new employees do but they are put on a pedestal and pegged for management. Makes no sense and creates a rift between employees.

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
