Pros

Interesting insight into the airline support services industry. Low staffing levels mean boundless opportunities to take on challenging projects and "make your mark."

Cons

High workload with little work / life balance available. Employees who perform well are generally rewarded with more work and little else. Industry is under pressure to cut costs and become more efficient--you must be very entrepreneurial and willing to work independently to succeed.
