Pros

Benefits, Starting Bonus, Training, Job Security, Union Representation.

Cons

Each aircraft division has a backlog of aircraft. A lot of time is spent waiting for aircraft to be ready to work on. In avionics, sometimes you may wait 1 - 2 weeks to be able to put power on an aircraft before you can do assigned tasks. In the meantime, technicians have to look busy so the high up don't see you standing around. This is very demoralizing.

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 ☹️
