Pros

Excellent vacation benefits. 2 weeks vacation and 1 week personal business your first year that start as soon as you are hired.

Cons

This is the definition of a dead end job. There are almost no growth opportunities at this company. Lateral movement between different airframes is not allowed. There is a mountain of policies and SOPs that you must know and follow...or else! Forget about common sense. If you were to follow every policy to the letter your day would consist of talking about being safe more than actually doing any work. Management believes they can put enough policies in place to protect even the most incapable employees. If a new hire is terrible at their job they aren't fired, they are told that it's not their fault and the more senior employees haven't trained them correctly, basically zero personal responsibility. Aircraft mechanics are viewed as commodities: you can train any person with an A&P to do this work. There is no acknowledgement of talented individuals, they are simply a mechanic was well trained. High achievers and those with a strong work ethic are paid marginally better than a hack. Their is no real pay for performance or incentive to work hard other than your own work ethic.

Pros

-Work in an air conditioned hangar! -All the tools and support needed to do the job -Excellent training available -Good safety culture -Fairly easy work -Lots of opportunities to grow

Cons

Big corporate politics at times. Some people just love to point fingers. Rules that are very excessive due to incompetence, instead of just firing morons.

Pros

Gulfstream is a good company, I would come back to it. Can be a fantastic work life balance. PTO and benefits are decent. Can be an excellent career builder if you have connections and play your cards right. They can pay for your masters. Self-starters are rewarded and recognized,

Cons

-Ultimately, your experience heavily depends on your specific group—and some can be incredibly profane and toxic. If you are trying to implement an improvement but it doesn't agree with leadership, you can be harassed. -You might find yourself fourth in a long line for a position that only opens once a year; many jobs already have a person picked before they are ever posted. This isn't new information.
