Pros

Great starting position with lots of traveling for new graduates. Many opportunities to learn about different types of aircraft chance to work with some great airlines.

Cons

CAE has been cutting everything in the past few years. There is very little employee motivation because incentives to travel and work hard have all been cut and the employee is receiving nothing in return for working smart and working hard
