Not a good place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ground level employees are very dedicated and work very hard at making the company a success. Many extremely knowledgeable long term employees that know the product.

Cons

Senior managment is serving the equity investors very well. That is what they are paid to do and they are doing with minimal success. Middle management is frozen in fear and won't do anything politically risky.

Good place to work, very slow to change, lots of paperwork

Fuel systems mechanic

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good for the area and the Air-crane helicopter is really fun to see.

Cons

Management is really bad. Almost comically so. You get used to it after a while, so as long as continual poor decision making doesn't bother you its not a bad place to work for 5+ years.
