Pros

Tools are supplied and some great people work here

Cons

Extremely unequal. You will have the same title as your coworker but they will know a fraction of what you know and they will be paid the same or even more than yourself. Favoritism is rampant, and if you are unlucky enough to bein a specialized skill where they cannot replace you, you will never ever get a promotion or substantial pay raise. Actually, those who fail at the job are the first to be put into leadership. There is a culture of laziness and if you don't approve then you are considered a trouble maker. They abuse this power because they hold a local monopoly. Health insurance is a joke seeing as you have to meet a 3k yearly deductible before coverage kicks in. Promotional interviews include questions that have nothing to do with your skill set.

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.
