Pros

Fortune 500 company with good industry reputation and established MRO footprint overseas.

Cons

Has lost market share due to high price/ premium business model in an oversaturated business with growing low price competitors. Has high management turnover in the Int'l. segment and been forced to send jobs overseas.

Pros

Employees become family members. A lot of benefits working for a big corporate company including health care. Work life balance is what you make it.

Cons

Typical big corporate company where high level executives implement programs and company focus to please share-holders without taking into account who actually runs the company...
