Vantaggi
Good pay. Varied aircraft work.
Svantaggi
Little to not technical documentation on specific aircraft. Techs are regularly forced to make modifications on-the-fly, as in literally creating wiring drawings on napkins or pieces of paper to make modifications to aircraft. Very little professionalism. Assignments change on the fly from airframe to airframe with very little notice or regard to technical knowledge or expertise. This results in a kind of 'chop-shop' mentality where "good enough" works so long as Summit's customers are happy with the results. Definitely maintenance being done to some aircraft that FAA IA's would not approve of. Summit works through thinly-veiled contractor companies(usually staffed by one or two people) who screen contractors and give basic descriptions to them about what working for Summit entails; but have no knowledge of Aviation maintenance procedures, FAA guidelines, OSHA directives, or even basic workplace safety. They are there to defend Summit Aviation's interests and hire or fire you with very little notice, and act as a legal buffer since you were technically never an employee of Summit Aviation, nothing more.
