Pros

Offers job security within the airline sector.

Cons

A fantastic facade, however, a very frustrating place to work behind the scenes. To many managers, trying to micro-manage, that are not open to fresh ideas and individuals that are unfortunately stuck within their military mentality. A lot of time working away, with very little overtime benefits in return. Accommodation can be extremely poor, whilst away on company military business. Nepotism is extremely rife, so unless you have a previous military working relationship with your superiors, personnel development is none existent.

Pros

A good company who are open and honest with their employees. Business improvements are encouraged with the focus on the happiness of the workforce. Open to flexible working in certain roles and support a healthy work life balance. I have engaged with lots of good people who are actually happy in work throughout different departments in the business. The facilities and equipment provided to work in and with are to a high standard and well maintained. There are many work socials organised of a varied nature which employees are encouraged to attend but not forced to.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business and the customer, work priorities can change quickly so you have to be flexible and agile minded. Due to where the business is located on a military camp it can often take extra time getting to work and leaving work at peak times. Parking is at a premium on the base too.
