Old style management - Recensione dipendente - Director of PMA presso Team JAS

Everyone is great, big happy family. Management team knows how to lead and care about their employees and their family.

some days can be very long due to the amount of work.

• Good benefits • Climate-controlled indoor facility • Some genuinely awesome coworkers

• For an aeronautical repair station, industrial standards weren't really a thing. Think insufficient tooling, workspaces that didn't meet structural/regulatory code, job-specific applications being implemented without ever being properly understood, management authorizing non-certified personnel to perform work outside the scope of their credentials/experience. The list goes on. • Rarely were issues addressed, and on the few occasions where improvements were attempted, they usually backfired on account of management being cheap/unrealistic about the scale of whatever they were hoping to achieve in the first place. • Management across the board possessed little to no in-depth knowledge concerning many of the positions they oversaw. • Leadership/communication was often unclear, bordering on nonexistent. On another note, maintenance manuals were often procedurally vague and did not account for all aspects of the work performed within the repair station. Don't even get me started on PMA's engineering drawings. • The shop was short-staffed depending on the job title, and depending on what that was, you could either comfortably manage with extra hands to spare - or you'd be buried alive and be expected to perform miracles single-handedly. • Unsurprisingly, turnover was also high. Between shop techs, office administrators, and managerial staff - I saw over 20 people come and go just in the MRO alone. Company wide, on-site staff only averaged about 50 people at any given time, so you can probably imagine the fallout from other departments as well.
