Pros

Extremely low threshold to getting a job. Boss who doesn't know much about programming, so you can BS and not work and get away with it. Also, semi-flexible hours.

Cons

Good old boys club. Criminally underpay programmers (low bar to entry means there are a lot of programmers who don't know what they are doing. This leads to higher scrap, lower productivity, less efficient programs, etc. and this means the execs view all programmers as necessary idiots. This leads to lower pay, bad working conditions, and low bonuses.) The good programmers would be massively benefitted by unionizing.

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 ☹️
