Pros

You get a chance to sink your teeth in to really big programs right from the get-go, and gain experiene here that you could not get anywhere else

Cons

The often mandate over time or require you to travel internationallly on short notice. Sometime notice as short as 12 hours. They offer no compensation for travel or overtime, andwill sometimes book your trip for you befopre they even ask if you can go, to really put the pressure on you.

Pros

good pay and that's it.

Cons

everything. where to start - new employees are treated like garbage. no vacation days until 6 months then you get 3 days.... for an entire year (sick/vacation). useless pto. no insurance... even though you are working for AAR they use a staffing company - which is still aar to get away with this. not paid for hours worked - manipulate hours/pay weeks in order to avoid paying OT. scummy leadership, favoritism, and unless you're related to or sleeping with someone in leadership - you will get laid off.
