Going downhill fast...quickly being outpaced in salaries

Pros

Clean, good group of people for the most part, decent benefits, good work/life balance.

Cons

Management. As others have said, since DAE purchased StandardAero it was all downhill. Upper management no longer cares about the day to day problems that cause masses of people to quit. Winnipeg is a line on a balance sheet. Salary. They will ALWAYS say they are competitive, but they are absolutely not. I know personally of 12 people within the last year (all engineering staff) who quit for a minimum $20,000 raise. Other companies will continue to steal SAL Talent because of the poor salaries.
