Pay is good, work-life balance, benefits

Cons

Management always promotes their friends versus the employee or candidate that is right, systems are bogus as well as their reports, metrics you are measured on are bogus as well because the system doesnt work.

Pros

This company treats there employees with great respect and values the employees input. My past co-workers were great to work with.

Cons

The corporate office cubes are small than other corporate companies I have work for in the past. It seems like there facility department is trying to make more room for more people.

Pros

Company is trying to focus on the needs of the customer and lead the industry in MRO. Is considered by most to be a leader in the fragmented MRO industry.

Cons

As the company grows, it is challenged with evolving and speed to decisions. There is a lot of change happening right now. It isn't clear how and if all the change is in alignment to overall mid term or long term strategic direction.
