      Pros

      Most of the people are good. It's not a Charles Dickens novel come to life (I think).

      Cons

      The company was founded in the 1950s, and it seems like it still the 1950s at AAR once you have been on the scene for a short time. It's boys club. A white boys club. There are only a few women in manager or higher positions. Then they are mostly white. It is impossible to move up there unless you know or are related to someone high up. Mainly the CEO, who seems like he is itching for a hostile take over or buy out. Benefits and time off also come from the 1950s. Any change comes grudgingly. Unless it comes from the very top, and that usually comes with lay offs and / or renovations that cost in the high six figure range. Raises trickle in.

      Pros

      There is a lot of opportunity for overtime.

      Cons

      1. They are racist. This can be seen in the very few minorities, and no minorities in maintenance management. 2. management will fabricate problems, if you don't suck up to them the way they want. And if you're a woman, you may likely encounter sexual harassment from management. 3. If you are not white, AAR doesn't provide opportunities to learn and advance.

      Pros

      If you are a team player, motivated to learn, ready to share great ideas and partner with great people; choose AAR. Internal growth and development opportunities are available and there are many examples of individuals who have grown throughout AAR.

      Cons

      If your disposition tends to be more negative, or prefer to complain about issues that may arise vs. identifying solutions, then you should pass on joining the AAR team.
