Pros

Met some really good people working out on the floor with the guys. They had some old timers there who were very knowledgeable but unfortunately not a lot of time available to learn from them. Also, the severance package was pretty good (90 days paid) and afforded me enough time to pursue new options.

Cons

I worked there for a couple years right after A&P school. Coupled with my military experience I thought it would be a great fit. However management has very high expectations and they provide very little training. It's definitely a sink or swim type atmosphere. If you do not preform to their high standards quickly enough you will have issues. They talk a lot about being a 'family' during group meetings, and it may have been that way in the past but it is definitely not that way now. Also, lots of forced overtime, poor work/life balance leading to very poor morale in the hanger. I was employed from '12 -'14 so this review is a bit dated and things might have changed but they probably haven't. -D. M.

Pros

Used to be a nice work environment. Decent healthcare

Cons

They keep trying to push schedules to the left, with less people, and less resources. Upper management does not understand basic engineering practices. So more people leave and they do not fill those positions. Then ask to push the schedule on projects even more. They just don't get it.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Other workers are good at training you.

Cons

They sometimes wait to the day before to tell you you have to work overtime. Seems like they don't care about their employees. Can not move up in the company unless you have 4 yr college degree
