Pros

-Good pay: The wage they're willing to pay you is near the top of the market. -At the moment, they are also directly hiring you as a senior level technician, after completing 1 year as a contractor. -Job security: because of Boeing, most likely, Collins Aerospace or formerly Rockwell Collins aren't going anywhere.

Cons

-Alot of paperwork. Although you can say that this is what the company is asking of you to do and that you are being compensated for it, the amount of paperwork they are requiring you to do is NOT in the job description. However, not a deal breaker. -Management likes to pretend to be interested in the opinions of the technicians, like to tell them that the techs know the equipment best, but then turn around and appear to disregard any input. -Lots of micromanagement. Some deserving (to be fair), and others make you feel like a child having your hand held. -Although you can certainly make a career as a tech, and be comfortable with the wage, there is very little room for growth at the service centers.

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
