      Pros

      -You get your own office (I.T. Department) - this will change 2024 -Plenty of parking -All of your team members work at other locations -Most other parts of IT are very nice and helpful (i.e. Security, always willing to teach you something new)

      Cons

      -No formal training -Users will blame you for other department's mistakes and you're expected to let it happen -Upper Management all know each other and are friends (at least the CEO, Director of HR, Director of Wheeler Fleet HR, Director of Operations, and Senior VP of Operations) -The company pushes out good employees to cater to the bad/negative employees -Not allowed to work remotely -Management lets all employees get away with whatever they want -Pay is low compared to similar roles, but this is great if you are looking for something easy that pays $28/hr -No Christmas bonuses -Toxic work environment (they will band up and go against you if you try to put rules and regulations in place that every NORMAL company has set in place already) -They allow employee abuse (but they will say do not, you'll see once you work here) -Nobody in upper management is trustworthy (once they see you are an issue, meaning doing your job and letting them know what should and shouldn't be allowed as in everyone getting access to other parts of the building) they will fire, even if its not your fault. They must protect each other at all cost. - They allow the Director to sexually harass female employees (it's okay because he is a part of upper management, get it?) -They show favoritism and then say they don't want to hear complaints about the favoritism.

      Pros

      VSE Aviation was where my aviation career truly took flight. Over my 7 years there, I had the opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. The company gave me the platform to develop deep customer relationships, expand my industry knowledge, and build confidence in my ability to lead and problem-solve in high-stakes situations. I worked alongside talented individuals who were supportive, driven, and always willing to collaborate. The leadership team encouraged innovation and open communication, and I always felt like my contributions mattered. There was also a strong focus on continuous improvement, which challenged me to keep learning and adapting—a trait that’s now second nature. VSE gave me the kind of experience that not only helped shape my approach to business, but also set the tone for the standard of excellence I bring into every role moving forward.

      Cons

      The purchasing strategy, particularly when it came to aligning with long-term repair and inventory planning, could have benefited from a more proactive and collaborative approach. Decisions sometimes felt reactive rather than strategic, which occasionally impacted margins and turnaround times. Tighter alignment between MRO, sales, and purchasing would unlock stronger performance across the board and will position you to be competitive choice for suppliers.
