Pros

Vacation time and health insurance

Cons

-Lacks training . You're not properly trained. Then questioned why you're not trained after 9 months. -You're shuffled around In different areas before you even have time to learn 1 area! - Individual who would occasionally help "train" was never willing to actually teach. It was if it was bothering him or a burden. -Any mistake made, the person "training"would throw you under the bus, tell the boss you are not understanding, complain about your work, and make themselves look better than all others. - A mistake is made (because you're not properly trained) you are threatened to be written up. -When you are notified about the write up, it will be in front other co-workers. Especially in front of co-worker who throws everyone under the bus. The department proceeds to talk bad and make fun of you. - Management will take sides of the employee who continues to spread trouble. (The one training, but also the one throwing you under the bus) In turn, that employee spreads more issues, causing unnecessary stress. -If you are a full time college student. Even going for something aviation related. Expect to be told you need to work all the required OT. If you can not work the OT due to schooling, you're told it's held against you. - Management spends all time in the office, ignoring the real issues on the floor. Example:Ignoring the fact training is non-existent , but paying attention to the fact you're not trained in the amount of time expected. - Management will not talk to you on issues. They send someone to ask or tell you. (Hiding behind a desk type). - Management will send you on your own, without proper training, then you get in major heat for making mistakes (things you're not properly trained on). - communication is not there. - you need to be part of the good old boys favorite club to advance. - too much bad mouthing. Instead of bad mouthing people, try helping them where help is needed.

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
