Svantaggi
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.
