Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues to work with on all levels Opportunities to grow within the company and move to different workplaces Flexibility with work schedules, opportunities to travel and work in different places Work hard play hard attitude

Cons

The aviation industry is special in many ways and is not suited for everyone, its fast paced, time critical and requires a certain flexibility on the part of employees, either you love or hate it. This can include long working hours on certain projects; then again I believe this happens in every company.

Great place to work, especially for fresh-out-of-college grads

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart co-workers, very demanding work (but not in a bad way), very interesting work, especially of you like airline industry. Adequate pay, autonomy, work-life balance.

Cons

They promise you bonus at the time of interview but are very stingy when time comes to pay up. Also, they do not promote from within and hardly provide any resource for you to grow professionally, or learn new skills or develop as a manager.
