Pros

No license or experienced needed to get started and you get the years many companies ask for to get hired

Cons

The place is run like a mafia. Work ethic does not matter, only how well you play the politics. Undocumented maintenance is common place. Many non-licensed mechanics who do not speak English at all. Lay offs are a fact of life which HR will not warn you about and weekends are a thing of the past

Pros

good pay and that's it.

Cons

everything. where to start - new employees are treated like garbage. no vacation days until 6 months then you get 3 days.... for an entire year (sick/vacation). useless pto. no insurance... even though you are working for AAR they use a staffing company - which is still aar to get away with this. not paid for hours worked - manipulate hours/pay weeks in order to avoid paying OT. scummy leadership, favoritism, and unless you're related to or sleeping with someone in leadership - you will get laid off.
