Pros

If you get a good manager/group head, you have a chance of success. Number of paid holidays are good.

Cons

Middle management is terrible. They micromanage and make single decisions that should be made by the boards. Latest survey got the salary exempt folks under 6 years a full extra week of vacation. You know to retain talent... If you have been there less than 18 years, they now bump up the vacation addition every two years instead of the old 6 yr plan. If you have 18 or more, you get nothing. I guess they don't think people above 6 years are going to leave so no extra for us. And pay raises... The promotion budget now pulls from the raise budget so is there are promotions in your leaders unit, the amount for raises drops. Promotions are hard to come by unless you are good old boy network or dei.

Pros

Fair work/life balance. Managers are generally easy to work with. Salary is competitive.

Cons

Extremely difficult to move forward (as a male employee). "Fake it till you make it" culture that breeds insecurity. Rife with nepotism. Constant fingerpointing & scapegoating.

Pros

Meet some good people. You get to look at aircrafts and learn different things when you ask questions. Good work life balance. Overtime is offered on weekends, if you choose to partake.

Cons

Pay is not great for what is expected of you, and for everything you deal with, The company doesn't seem to offer programs to earn certs for some reason; so ultimately, workers in low paying positions feel stuck. Seems to be a popularity contest regarding professional growth, if there's a desire to move up the ladder, then you must put yourself in position to be a "yes" man to everyone you come in contact with. The company doesn't really help build the moral of their employees, they leave that to the employees to do individually; I was literally told by an acting manager that "we have to keep our moral up at work," which was very unfortunate to hear. Take nothing at face value here, they change plans like changing underwear, nothing seems to be set in stone; too much talk about something and no real action. They sold me a pretty picture when applying, "We're looking for people who want to have long careers here..." Sure, if you have a few years to spare before making decent money, for instance, being a dispatcher for over 5 - 10 years before becoming a planner, not ideal at all. This places has a gold medal in playing the "blame game," it doesn't take long for anyone to throw you under the bus, and they hand work off to the next person because they don't want to deal with it. Lack of recognition and acknowledgement, and when it is give, it's very "corporate" dry and not genuine.
