Pros

not unionized... thats about it

Cons

-no payscale or scale for improvement or advancement -as hiring gets harder and harder they hire people with little to no experience for more than they pay the experienced people that have to train them. and theres no benefit for taking on the responsibility of training. -if you bring up pay you'll get told their either working on it and never hear about it again, or get told to suck it up( they'll usually quit after that ) -right now the most effective way to get paid better at AAR is the leave work elsewhere for 6 months and come back and negotiate in at a better wage this place is really backwards

Pros

good pay and that's it.

Cons

everything. where to start - new employees are treated like garbage. no vacation days until 6 months then you get 3 days.... for an entire year (sick/vacation). useless pto. no insurance... even though you are working for AAR they use a staffing company - which is still aar to get away with this. not paid for hours worked - manipulate hours/pay weeks in order to avoid paying OT. scummy leadership, favoritism, and unless you're related to or sleeping with someone in leadership - you will get laid off.
