Pros

They pay well if you work in the right department Some divisions actually respect their employee

Cons

I was an Avmax employee contracted out to another company. This other company paid my wages back to Avmax. then they also billed out my jobs I completed back to Avmax in the form of billable hours, So Avmax paid them for the work I did for Avmax as a customer I was contracted out to do. even though I was an Avmax Employee. Also lots of cutbacks happened recently due to the take over by the Chinese company Sunward ad they messed up everyone's budget to make it look like such a good buy so John Binder and Company can make a bunch of money before they bail after the finalized sale

Pros

There are no good reasons to work for Avmax.

Cons

This company treats it's employees as a means to an end. There is no investment in the employee to help them grow and get better at their jobs. They often say things like "If you don't like it here there are a dozen others waiting to take your place". The salaries are well below industry standard. They promote a "blame culture" and you are always looking over your shoulder wondering when you are going to get stabbed in the back. Nepotism runs rampant in this company. The owner employs family and friends in positions well beyond their skills and capabilities. The buildings and work environments break numerous OH&S codes. Safety is paid lip service to and speaking up about any violations could cost you your job. The owner smokes in his office and subjugates his staff to constant second hand smoke. The benefits package is meager. They only look for people that are "yes men/women" that don't buck the system. Avmax is the "pick your part" of the aviation industry. Stay away from this company or sacrifice part of your soul to work there.
