Pros

The desire to want to grow their maintenance department. Trying to improve processes and efficacy within the company and different departments. Growing pains lots and lots of growing pains

Cons

Inexperience within all the departments especially maintenance. Some of the lowest pay for mechanics in the a&p world. A lot of good ol boy club mentality. A lot of smoke and mirrors for pay and benefits. Not enough equipment to operate or fix any planes nor proper tooling to work on planes. Absolutely no communication between the various departments and maintenance or from upper management in maintenance to lower managers in maintenance. Lack of transparency in direction of maintenance or how department is doing to mechanics. Maintenance goals are not clearly being directed to mechanics and the lack of transparency and planning is showing as the company fleet has grown since no goals are being communicated within the department

Pros

It's an exciting, growing company where individuals who express interest can get involved in and really impact the direction of the company. Because everything is getting built, an entrepreneurially-inclined individual can get involved in high-visibility initiatives that influence decision making.

Cons

The pace isn’t for everyone—priorities can shift quickly, and ambiguity is common. This is somewhat common for an immature company and attempting to grow quickly in a difficult market Systems and processes are still maturing, which can create friction. Resource constraints at times make execution more challenging than it needs to be.

Pros

- schedule options (8/6 or 15/13) - bonus pay on days off (up to $1750 a day if available) - diverse flying from ATL and ORD to smaller non towered airports (every rotation is different)

Cons

- aside from small base pay, additional pay is paid by the hour, if you sit on the ground on a broken aircraft or home reserve you don’t make extra money. - leads to my next con, planes break A LOT, they’re older other companies used airplanes that come with a list of issues. - you book all your own hotels, rental cars, Ubers, etc (you’d think this would be a con but it’s not. I waste my rest periods, especially late in the evening trying to get transportation, book a hotel (when everywhere is booked) and arranging food in between quick turn arounds when I would rather have someone book it for me.
