      Pros

      Some good people make the job tolerable

      Cons

      Some people are being forced to come into the office amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Those who live with immunosuppressed or elderly people are severely endangering their lives every time management believes it is imperative to have people in the office. Staff are not being trusted to bring work home, which has now created a hostile work environment. If not for the financial necessity, I would already have left the company. Once this all passes, I’ll begin applying elsewhere. Beware of companies who do not value the lives of their employees and families.

      It is concerning (although helpful) to learn you have this impression. There have been extensive on-going discussions and subsequent decisions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, with the #1 priority being the well-being of our employees. Obviously, this has not transcended to you and possibly others, so will continue to enhance employee communications and ensure everyone is aware of AAR's willingness to provide special accommodations during this challenging situation.

      I worked there as a sheet metal mechanic, but hardly did any actual sheet metal work.

      Pros

      They offer tuition reimbursement, besides that there are no pros to the job.

      Cons

      Low pay. If you take a concern to HR they dismiss it as false and claim you are lying. I work there for 4 months, I was not trained once like I was told I was going to be. I was told I was going to be making $18 an hour, first day on the job they told me I was making $15 an hour. When I asked if there was any wiggle room on pay they said “take it or leave it.” On my last day there during the interview I was able to bring up my concerns with HR and with everything I stated to the woman I was told I was lying and that there is one way that what I was saying is true. They were trying to say that I didn’t bring up all of my uniforms either and are trying to charge me for them. All in all, very disappointed in this company. If you are a young person with little to no responsibility then the low pay and long hours are great. But for an adult with a family the place is horrible. Most of the leads treat you with disrespect. Massive human resource issues with the Oklahoma facility. Would never recommend anyone to work there.
