Completely disorganized and horrible management. For a company that prides itself on "precision" they do not provide proper tooling and equipment to properly repair and overhaul aircraft components. The sales team under bids on lucrative contracts just to make a sale with no realistic way or plan to actually follow through and fulfill their part of the deal. AAR has lost many contracts due to this and will continue to do so with people like Robert Sopp and Scott Ingold giving their "dog and pony show" (as they like to refer to it) to current and prospective clients with a tour of the facility where they show off precision equipment that is no longer used and is merely for display. Robert Sopp is at best a sneaky used car salesman with the tactics he uses to swindle the DOD and other organizations into believing AAR can fulfill ANY terms of a contract! Scott Ingold forced AAR to use his college buddy's company "Piece-Makers" for special tools for the new US Army APU contract. Despite taking months to manufacture and repeated delays, almost every tool was made incorrectly yet the technicians were still forced to "make them work" as one upper level manager said.
