Pros

Enjoyable work. The office has a relaxed dress code.

Cons

Benefits are horrible. Over 1k a month for insurance (household of 5) with a $6k deductible PER PERSON is completely unaffordable. The first (corporate) raise in over 5 years was only 1-2% with most hourly employees seeing much less than a half dollar increase per hour. There are also a lot of first time managers and PE's that don't know what they are doing... Engineering manager(s) and PE's only delegate work. Manager(s) make racial comments and speak down to employees and do not have any knowledge of current programs or industry. Engineering director(s) smelling of alcohol at 8:30am is also not unheard of... Not to mention the refusal to take any responsibility for hiring crappy managers that have ZERO management knowledge or experience.

Pros

It was a great company to work for.

Cons

There was some compliance issues that needed to be addressed. Some of the old mechanics were used to doing things the way they "had always done them" same thing with training and other managers rather than reading the manuals so it led to customer issues. It could have definitely been avoided. AAR Corp took over and just laid off all the good people who were trying to make positive changes rather than interviewing anyone. So now they are stuck with all the ones that are in that "lets keep doing it the way we have always done it mindset". If they dont sell it or break it down for parts - I will be surprised.
