Pros

Tuition reimbursement, good overall benefits, pay is quite good for the area, you can advance if you are willing to assimilate and learn to fit in

Cons

Don’t think you can buck the system, change is tough there, advancement is tough if you are used to a system based on fairness. Be prepared for a bunch of white guys who are comfortable in status quo, enjoy guns, hunting, and drinking as hobbies.

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Rather decent front loaded time off. 4 day work weeks. A pretty decent off shift incentive.

Cons

Management does not care about their people. They are so far removed from what’s going on on the floor and too focused on passing the buck to someone else for their screw ups. People are placed in positions they should not be in simply because they know someone or they kiss up to someone. The people on the floor have very little fixed wing experience yet act as if they know everything. The only path they create for people to move up is A&P and even then they just want you to stay a mechanic. They neglect to realize that people stay with a company for the culture as well as leave because of it.
