Pros

None, None, None None, Whatsoever!

Cons

A deplorable, toxic, dangerous place to work. Horrible people and a horrible place. The bullying and harassment that goes on is beyond belief. It may have changed since I worked there, but my advise to anyone offered a job with CAE - Parc Aviation would be to run!
