Pros

A State of the art facility, and lots of good mechanics with a diverse group of aircraft and customers. Entry level positions.

Cons

Bad aircraft scheduling leads to lots of mandatory overtime and then getting sent home due to no work. Low rate of pay compared to other MROs.

Pros

good pay and that's it.

Cons

everything. where to start - new employees are treated like garbage. no vacation days until 6 months then you get 3 days.... for an entire year (sick/vacation). useless pto. no insurance... even though you are working for AAR they use a staffing company - which is still aar to get away with this. not paid for hours worked - manipulate hours/pay weeks in order to avoid paying OT. scummy leadership, favoritism, and unless you're related to or sleeping with someone in leadership - you will get laid off.
