Pros

FlightSafety is a stable company with a caring management group. The working conditions are great, clean and safe. Hard work is recognized and career advancement opportunities exist for those that want them. Salary and benefits are reasonable. I work with a wide variety of interesting people which includes both my co-workers and customers.

Cons

Career advancement is possible but due to the scope of the operations it can be a long time in coming. Merit increases are a bit low and will be shut down in tight economic conditions.

Pros

Working with the professionals whoes PERSONAL experience, knowledge, and care are the product this company lives off of. If you ever hear of someone learning something, or having a great experience at FSI. It was due to the INDIVIDUAL that they got as an instructor. Facilities are clean, equipment well maintained.

Cons

No work rules. No amount of extra work will earn you a dime more than your fellow instructor is qualified to do nothing. 2% annual pay raises are the most that you can expect. Just knowing that there is a 2% spread between the "best of the best" and a turd that can't even pass a 135 checkride in his own airplane does wonders to kill your spirit and desire to give 150% each month. By the way, 150% pays the same an 60% and there are no rules, so no way to draw a line, or say no to any demand, no matter how insane. Schedule?? 5 swing shifts from 0300 start to 0300 end. No limit on weekends, no maximum days in a row. You know, anything goes when there are NO RULES!!

Workplace Abuse - A Company in Denial

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice facilities, good benefits in comparison to other companies. Was a great place to work when the Centre first opened for business.

Cons

The company is in denial regarding disrespectful health harming behaviour by some personnel in positions of power. Management manage by e-mail and seem to not notice any covert bullying tactics. The Company issues Care Cards with the promise of applying the principles of trust, honesty, respect, integrity and commitment, but regrettably those qualities, and trying to adhere to Company policies and the QMS system, make people targets of mobbing, work sabotage, physical intimidation and offensive name calling. Trying to resolve the problem results in accusations of lacking a sense of humour, being too sensitive and being overreactive, even when the events escalate.
