FlightSafety International reviews

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.

There seems to be a failing desire by those in charge to look at quality vs. getting the job done quickly. Many times an idea has come up to make the job work better, but there was too much fear of the "schedule"... most customers will be ok with a slight schedule slip since we do produce the best sims out there. The other is lack of true promotion options. After a couple of attempt at moving to a position that my qualifications ecceeded, I found that most all the applications weren't even looked at because the hiring Manager already had made up a pre-decision. Now this isn't in all positions, but seems to be a growing trend.
