Pros

Cae has some nice managers that make the employees feel better. That does not fix the systematic organisational problems and the corporate culture of only looking at the bottom line.

Cons

All instructors are on call 5 days a week (24/5). Do not plan anything during those days as your schedule might change several times a day! Be prepared to work on your off days in addition being forced to work "double days". That means working close to 16 hour shifts if they are short on Instructors... That is the problem. they are always short on Instructors. The new work rule states they will not force Instructors to work more than a 16hr day! Nice rule! They pay far less than Flight Safety and the benefits are below industry standards. This is as low and disorganized as you will find. Dont be fooled by the contract they show you. You will very hard for your salary. Actually you will not have time for anything else! work/sleep. Be aware and do not sign a lock in contract if you are smart. Most employees leave as soon as the contract is completed.

Pros

CAE offers the opportunity to work in a highly respected and technically advanced aviation environment. The work itself is meaningful, especially knowing the impact our services have on pilot safety and training outcomes. Many of the employees are knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely care about doing the right thing for clients. The Las Vegas team is collaborative, and there is a strong sense of teamwork when challenges arise. Leadership has supported improvements during periods of transition, including operational changes and facility moves, and there is exposure to multiple areas of the business that support my professional growth. CAE also provides solid benefits and stability as a global organization, which is reassuring in a fast-changing industry.

Cons

Like many large organizations, business decisions are made without the appropriate change management or the end user being considered. Resource constraints, such has limitations on hiring, particularly during periods of growth place additional strain on frontline teams. Communication and alignment between departments or Centers are inconsistent. Some operational issues would benefit from more proactive planning rather than reactive fixes. There are opportunities to further invest in tools, equipment, and infrastructure to better support employees and client.
