Superb Hiring Experience

Pros

Great pay, benefits, quality of life, and overall great place to work at the Dallas Center. Flight Safety's customer, safety, and employee focus in Dallas sets the standard for others to follow. Highest moral anywhere in the world I have seen.

Cons

There is no downside to working at Flight Safety unless you just don't like people. This is definitely not the job for you if you do not like working for and with others. If you are looking for a place to set in a dark corner by yourself I would not work here.

Pros

Lot's of opportunity for advancement. If you have the desire and the ability, even the sky is not the limit at FlightSafety. Always working with the latest airplanes and technology. Working with great people, usually the top in the industry for what they do. Reasonable and respectful working conditions. Plenty of paid time off. Most (not all) managers and supervisors are people and career oriented, both for themselves and their subordinates. Extremely good job stability, especially compared to all other aviation companies.

Cons

Potential for travel, anywhere, any time, for unknown lenghts of time. Ofen at very short notice. Pay is average at best, considering the skill sets required. Merit raises are slim in the good times and non-existant in the slow times. Some managers tend to not consider their employees interests at all and seem incapable of creating a work environment that encourages pride or offers the chance for the employee to demonstate any individual talent or exceptionalism. This isn't common, but it exists, and top management has not done anything about it for decades, even though they have been advised of the problem.

Lack of respect and transparency, closed-minded, terrible politics

Pros

Stability - given the company is hemorrhaging employees, they need to keep the ones they do have.

Cons

Low pay - the level of knowledge and skills required for the job do not match the wage Bad politics - both interdepartmental and between different teams, all within the same center Lack of leadership - most management have no leadership skills, passing the buck, no sense of integrity. If you earn 6 figures, why are you cleaning the place and micromanaging? No room/little room for advancement Technologically and operationally behind the times.
