Decent pay for less than decent work culture/environment

Aircraft maintenance technician

Business Outlook

Pros

You will be compensated for the work you perform and fairly

Cons

They are wildly lacking in growth and opportunity. At the our location we are not even allowed to do our own maintenance documentation while performing work. Very disorganized in daily processes with poor communication. You just show up and find something to work on.

Great co-workers, not so management

Pros

Coworkers are for the most part, amazing. Blocked schedules. Ample time off (thankfully since PTO accrual is ridiculously low). The PC-12 is the best platform for fixed wing transports.

Cons

Upper management is disconnected from reality. Pay hasn't kept up with inflation, for past 7+ years. Regional management talks transparency, but is shrouded by the dark side.

Pros

Great pay and benefits, great equipment, management cares about employee well being

Cons

What we are told in training isn't how it's done in the field. I questioned an IOE captain about it (taking off with ice or frost) and he told me that if the chief pilot or FAA is on board don't do it, but otherwise do it if you are comfortable.
