Pros

Good people to work with. Fairly professional. Normal in most ways. Benefits, vacation and personal, hard working co-workers.

Cons

High turnover. from 2009 to 2012 there was 100% turnover in engineering. They went through 3 engineering managers. And i believe they have around 80% turn over between 2012 and 2017. Unless your highest level of education is an associates, you are in trouble. There has been a similarly high turnover in the rest of the company. OK if you are desperate.

Pros

Great stress free, laid back company. Work is somewhat repetitive but can be fun thought provoking (10% of the time)

Cons

Pay is not competitive with similar local positions. Lack thereof training & adequate documentation, associates held unaccountable for negative trends. No data analysis happening on the line.

Pros

The people were very friendly and compensation was alright. Management is concerned about making a full line of products to offer their customers.

Cons

Management didn't do a great job of finances and desperately hopped on board the Continuous Improvement movement too late and for the wrong reasons. I think there's a lot of potential at Flight and perhaps now they're figuring out how to run a business that sells into the aftermarket. Working there looks like working in a sweatshop from 150 years ago. A little effort towards aesthetics goes a long way. I didn't feel like I was given the opportunity to help them as much as I wanted to. I felt I was not allowed to exercise talents that I had beyond engineering (e.g., supply chain, quality, etc.) I also felt like the engineers WERE given the burdensome task of doing market research without some of the proper tools.
