Pros

Mentoring atmosphere - Learned so much from great hands-on experience and being taken under the wing of more experienced colleagues. Great people - especially in their HQ in Wichita, Kansas. Meaningful work - not just pushing papers. Great benefits. Treat interns very well and give them meaningful projects.

Cons

For the Wichita location only: If you're not from here, it can be lonely to relocate. Also, as Textron Aviation has a bit of a monopoly on the engineering/aerospace employment in Wichita, the pay is usually ~9% less than the national average. (But that didn't stop it from being worth it for me to work 2 years here. It really is a great environment that makes up for the pay cut.)

Pros

The most chill aviation job I have ever worked at. No regular near weekly audits , no micro management from supervisors. No incompetent tool crib attendant to deal with. All smaller tools like torque wrenches, safety cable guns, mega ohm meters, etc are in a vending machine style tool bin manager. QA is very knowledgeable and extremely fast when placing a call with them for an inspection, or witnessing torque or anything. I've never had to wait more than 10 mins, even when they are short handed a person. As far as the whole parts procurement dept and the parts runners go they seem pretty legit as well. Doesn't matter if I need a hyd pump, a press switch or just a bag of screws. If I don't get the part that day within a few mins to hours, its there the next day.

Cons

The only thing I can really nitpick is that the factory and the service center hangers have A/C. But not where im at ☹️
