Pros

-Great pay for starting mechanics. -Plenty of experience to be gained from the first one to two years.

Cons

-24-7 on-call with little to no pay differential. -Overtime is tightly restricted and also (somehow) mandatory. -Completion of training is taken very seriously but the content of the training is largely ignored. -Management constantly takes problems with simple solutions and overcomplicates the solutions to make them untenable. -The company does not uphold rules regarding rest periods for maintenance employees.

Pros

You will be compensated for the work you perform and fairly

Cons

They are wildly lacking in growth and opportunity. At the our location we are not even allowed to do our own maintenance documentation while performing work. Very disorganized in daily processes with poor communication. You just show up and find something to work on.
