Pros

- Great coworkers that are always willing to work together to accomplish any situation that comes ahead. - Usually a positive attitude all around despite any last minute projects that can ruin anyone's day.

Cons

- Many of the higher ups and the older employees have a very outdated mindset on technology to a borderline comical degree that they heavily depend on the younger guys to get anything done. - Company overpromises and underdelivers to their employees constantly - Very outdated business practices - Somewhat high turnover rate, the decent employees rarely stick around for more than a year. - Hardly any career advancement for employees within. - Low pay for high amounts of work. - Upper management passing the blame onto lower level employees for their own poor decisions in order the save themselves is sadly a common occurrence. - The building is old with very poor lighting at various areas. There has been talk of renovations and even a brand new building in development but after several years and no real progress or announcements, I wouldn't hold my breath.

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.
