Aviation Institute Of Maintenance Reviews

I worked at Aviation Institute Of Maintenance full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Great support and guidance from department leader.

Cons – Low pay. Too structured. No room for growth. Employee benefits not very good --medical coverage is unaffordable. I don't know why I stayed as long as I did.

Advice to Senior Management – Focus on minimizing your employee turnover.You get what you pay for. Pay more and get qualified people and recognize them so that they stay.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – The instructors really care about their students.

Cons – People are hired with the idea that they will not last (ie. very little investment in the individual employee such as roles explained or training given. Little interest in developing more than a passing relationship with the new hire.) "Counselors" pressured to provide counseling with AIMs bottom line in mind, not the perceived best interest of the student. Management has poor professional boundaries (ie. yelling.)

I have been working at Aviation Institute Of Maintenance full-time

Pros – Many instructors and staff truly love what they do for the students and it shows

Cons – School management does not follow-up on staff/student requests quickly, does not coomunicate effectively the "big picture" so staff/students have a clear understanding of what is expected. They work "reactively" and not "proactively". The main excuse I have heard so many times is that "I have 400 students to deal with", yet many times the littlest act of communication, to stay informed with students/staff, is overlooked.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your staff and students, learn to set time apart directly for them so they completely understand what is going on and this just may control the tension a bit.
