Pros

Decent pay but not great Free food once a month

Cons

I left this company this past November for the following reasons. - The management doesn’t take harassment seriously, they brush it under the rug. - Leads, Supervisors and Managers will harass you if you don’t bow down to their every demands. - They tell you to put your license on the line by signing off other mechanics jobs or with cowboy maintenance, there’s a lot of cowboy maintenance. - They don’t follow FAA regulations - They rob parts off of customer aircrafts. - They intentionally give individuals they don’t like the more unsavory jobs in an attempt to push them out of the company. - Their training consists of signing a piece of paper stating you’ve completed training without actually receiving any. - They run the facility like it’s the military, telling you not to report to HR if you have an issue and to go up the chain of command so they can control the narrative, in turn not having to do anything to rectify the issue reported - They’ve fired several people that come in and try to turn the place around to follow safety procedures as well as FAA regulations I was rated a top mechanic on my shift and I still experienced all of this as well as witnessing a lot worse happen to other mechanics. This is a very toxic company to work for as a mechanic. They don’t treat anyone fairly unless you’re part of the “good ole boys club”. Favoritism is a very real issue here and if you’re looking for a job as a mechanic I highly recommend not to even consider this job as an opportunity. The only way you’ll go far in this company is by not having any integrity and being a yes man

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.
