Pros

If you're chummy with management or a suck up, you're probably set for life. Some staff are excellent. Get to use the flight simulators.

Cons

Spy on employees outside working hours (I'm leaving as little identifying information as possible, they're that vindictive). Empty promises and platitudes from management at all levels. Blatant favouritism and cronyism. Some bullying. Laughably poor training. Very confusing appraisal system. Salary increase dependent on ability to complete the appraisal rather than actual performance. Take any opportunity to shaft employees. Actively hostile to anyone suffering personal or health problems. HR unsupportive of staff and very deferential to management. Process is more important than people. Managers place great importance in their titles. You better know your place. Processes dominated by Montreal even when inappropriate. Haemorrhaging permanent staff. Distinct elitist feel (eg Christmas Party is black tie only).

Pros

Very interesting business. Learn about the aviation business and flight simulators. Dealing with pilots and their companies is a great experience.

Cons

Dallas Location: Doing things like in the 80s, no process, no direction, Male chauvinists coworkers, prejudice against foreigners. Bad internal competition, gossip and all the bad things you see in a company stuck in time with idiots running all the way from managers to the CEO. NOT customer centered. The whole HR quit recently.
