Pros

Pay is good for college students, especially with the extra hours they will inevitably ask you to work. After the ~3 months I was there I left with significant growth from the 401K the company contributed to along with my own contributions. Charter flights will bring lots of leftover food that they are often nice enough to leave for the FBO staff so I rarely had to bring lunch. Wide variety of aircraft operations happening at this location; medivacs, military, general aviation, sports and concert charters. 95% of customers are very nice, and the customer service reps up front are always fun to talk with. Some moments with LOTS to do so it will keep you busy!

Cons

On the contrary, some moments where there's absolutely nothing to do for hours. You sit there with 4 or 5 other guys, and if you don't have training/approval to clean/maintain equipment then you're going to be really bored. The reason I got hired is the guys complained to management they were short-staffed for my shift, but then I got there and half the time just sat there. When I would offer to do things, or go above and clean around the office, I was often questioned why I couldn't just sit there. Demotivating for someone who likes to keep moving. People who train you are inconsistent and often don't tell you what the end goal is to what you're working on till you've already messed up. It's frustrating. Though I was hired on for part-time to accommodate my full-time college schedule, I was often scheduled ~30 hours or more a week and then asked to pick up a shift every week. Nice thing is if you turn down the extra shift they don't hold it against you.

Pros

There are genuine people in every place we but there are also disgenuine people as well. Finance has a group that require more in performance everyday for some but others perform less with more credit - it is one of those places that fits an old adage of having more chiefs and less Indians. If you can get past the daycare environment then you can learn alot about how the airline industry functions; the linkage of providing top-tier service both to the clients and the staff. The company offers good benefits however if your looking for the benefits department to help with issues you maybe facing you will need to prepare yourself for the limitation of getting a phone number and or email contact information from the team and making time on the side to do the calling - legwork yourself - after all we're talking HIPPA and following those guidelines to protect the employee information. The clients are different in the back office setting then those that utilize the aircrafts. In the back office it is primarily staff to staff contact should an employee be going thru the building or over to the FBO and see a famous person or dignitaries; they are not allowed to stare or talk to them or be prepared to be fired on the spot. That to me seems rude next to a polite Good Afternoon or have a safe flight everyone. As your walking past most will take notice if parts of the party are in deep conversation with another whether another passenger or someone on a phone where a soft caring smile and wave hello might be appreciated. Management should be more understanding the impressions can give the clients a different perspective of an uncaring team and undermine all the FBO team does to make the client's experience much more top-tier. Sometimes for the workers clients are difficult and demanding and it can be difficult to maintain a friendly environment but it is a service and you did sign up for providing service with a smile 😃. Most are understanding and dont allow the clients bad day derail them from providing top-tier service. These are a rare occurrence and it shows. Take the FBO staff and their action/reaction procedure; you will always receive the following actions of their professional, polite concierge staff who are always smiling, always thinking how they can best serve the clients even before they arrive to cover any wants or needs, they are caring, and respectful. Best team in the industry.

Cons

Reactive, silo stubborn, accurate, fake and untrustworthy.
