Pros

The pay can be decent. The experience obtained from doing heavy maintenance on the aircraft is invaluable.

Cons

The management could care less about its employees. The turnover rate is so high that they are forced to bring in people who have never picked up a tool let alone worked on a plane. HR likes to hire back people they have fired before and refuse to hire back people who quit and tried to come back as a contractor. Some of the inspectors make it harder on the mechanics by rejecting them for little things and not actually working with them to get the plane out on time and safely. MOST of the supervisors frankly just sit around smoking on their vapes and on their phones and then turn around and complain that those under them are not doing things fast enough. Frankly it is all just a good ole boy system.

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.
