Pros

Good pay for the area, 4/10 schedule, a small bonus twice a year, they make a highly regarded aircraft, lots of change which is ok if you can handle it.

Cons

Grew too fast, promoted terrible managers who don't listen and implement bad policies that only benefit them. Don't allow you to bring in outside knowledge or ways to improve. The company has tried several times to be "Top 100 places to work" but has failed miserably each time. Felt like I lost knowledge instead of gained it here.

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.
