Pros

The men and women that work at the Milwaukee Service Center are truly dedicated and knowledgeable . Their tight knit organization is one of a kind.

Cons

Can get a but stressful with some of the leadership. But with close relationship the team has with most of the clients, that's to be expected.

Good company, frustrating promotion schedule

Tool engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Best part of the job is the product. Its so incredibly cool to work with aircraft day-to-day

Cons

Fresh out of college, its very frustrating to bust your butt for years in a technical role and see very little progress in terms of pay. If you want to climb the ladder fast you either need to be in the LDP program, or be in the right place at the right time to shoot up through management. Lots of good technical engineers just get driven away by a lack of progression.
