Pros

It's a large stable company with lots of facilities nation-wide. There are many experienced people working there that can teach you every facet of the industry, so when you move on you have some experience.

Cons

No potential for growth. Severe case of 'Good ol boys' syndrome. Nepotism in the corporate HQ is rampant. Most managerial hires are from outside the company rather than promoting from within. Stifling PC culture. Anyone except outside sales are treated as a liability, no matter what their contribution to the company. I once saved Allen over $100k per year and barely got an attaboy, let alone anything else. Women and minorities are relegated to only work in Accounting, IT, or if they happen to be attractive they can make it in the product line.

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.
