Pros

Certain freedoms to accomodate client needs. Overtime and day off pay. Worst performers can't get fired!

Cons

Complete disrespect for instructors and examiners. Lower than ABAA pilot pay per type fir instructors. No additional qualification pay, TCE, SIM, CHeck airman. Simulators break, and maintenace is slow to fix complex issues CAE courseware and standardization is amaturish, out dated incomplete and unecessarily complex. Very little practical training of instructors, yet a lot of criticism of instructors for not complying with untrained unexplained and sometimes hidden policies. No chance for advancement unless you are part of the " bubba- club" that runs the place. Managers are incompetent, mostly former pilots with littled or no background or training in management. Adversarial and threatening management style. Managers incapable of mentoring and developing employees. The key upper management come from the outside without a clue, with the exception of one or two lifers that started as janitors and now run the place.
