Pros

The salary base was compatible to others in the industry. The hiring process was very easy to get through, even though it was done during the holidays.

Cons

Unfair amount of unpaid overtime expected to be worked every week (paid for 40 hours a week but averaged 50+ hours worked here, and an average of 60+ hours a week when sent to other assignments.) Travel per diem was unfairly low. Travel arrangements were difficult and took too much time. Sometimes was told I would be gone for a week or so and ended up being for 4-6 weeks. Lack of training, assistance and guidance from upper management. The enthusiasm that was shown at the job fair was not echoed at the job sight.

Pros

Easy to get hired. The pay was better than other companies.

Cons

There is no training. (FAA requires that) They don't explain how to do the job. Their supervisors treat you unfairly. They keep hiring people, even though most of the time, they have no aircrafts to work on. Very dishonest! They wait until you are about to become permanent, then fire you. It happened to at least 25 people while I was there. They don't give any excuses why. Most of the employees don't have an A&P License.
