Pros

Very friendly people. Non management people really fight hard to make a difference, not only for each other but for the customers. Training for special projects is available; like Lean/Six Sigma, Excel, and anything else you can find on Lynda.com Every Friday is jean day.

Cons

Pay is low for aerospace industry. They have a year-end bonus but employees can't control the bonus, so you're screwed either way you look at it. They took the 9/80 schedule away without giving management a chance to balance it out. Basically, it felt like they punished everyone who couldn't control it anyway. Management doesn't care to make a difference for their people.

Pros

The company has since renamed itself from American Eurocpoter to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. - A part of Airbus Group. ***** Medical Insurance was great. That was about it. FYI: -Your "base" salary will be lowered if you decide to purchase an extra week of vacation -Annual bonus at end of year -Merit raises here are higher than other companies in same industry

Cons

-Low pay, less vacation/personal time vs other companies in same industry. -90% of the people here were hard to work with, disrespectful, inexperienced, and worthless. Nobody has that technical capability or knowledge, especially of the products they build everyday. -If the company pushes strongly for healthier lives, then ban smoking on the premises. -A lot of other unprofessional activities that shall not be spoken about... -Bottom line - If you are young out of college, I highly recommend going to other companies. The experience you gain here (or lack thereof) will not get you anywhere and will not prepare you for opportunities elsewhere.
