Pros

Great insurance, decent pay. The working employees are very helpful, but there aren't many of them.

Cons

Backstabbing from hell. This is where fun goes to die. The least competent employees are promoted to managers. If you can't stretch your lips to 30 feet to kiss butt, you will never be promoted. About half of the workforce actually works, and they carry the half that are sycophants. Most managers are selected not by their knowledge, but by how desperate they are and how much they are willing to sacrifice any set of ethics. Extremely profit-driven. Quality is sacrificed for profit. The "ethics" apply only to workers, not managers.

Advice to Management

90% of managers are totally unqualified to be in their positions. The current doctrine that you don't need to know anything about aircraft, but instead only need to know how to manage people is totally wrong. The person making the final decision should know the ramifications of their decisions. It's a matter of basic aircraft safety.
