Pros

1. 401k Match 2. Pay increases since covid to keep up with market - Still not great! 3. Holiday Pay 4. Overtime is mostly an option. 5. Job Security 6. Having the freedom to quit this place.

Cons

1. About 80% of the mechanics are from Home Depot and Walmart. You will be working with people who cant spell "Wrench". 2. You are a # not a person. 3. If you ain't a "good ole boy", you will retire in your current position and never move up. Be prepared to get a little brown on your nose and play golf with the BOYZ. 4. As a certified A&P, its very difficult to move up since A&P's in this place is like GOLD. They will try and keep you as a mechanic unless you quit. I was cold shouldered on a promotion because they needed a senior mechanic to babysit all of the new employees from Home Depot. Remember that when you apply and ask for the most money possible if you have an A&P. 5. Healthcare sucks, its a high deductible plan like many other companies.

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.
