Pros

Great opportunities for immersion in General Aviation and networking for aspiring young people. On the most basic level, learning how to safely fuel and reposition private aircraft, as well as learning the real ins and outs of fuel inventory management and regulation, will pretty much guarantee you a job at any similar facility nationwide.

Cons

Absolute wreck of a company. Personnel-wise, middle management seems to range from outright venal to merely incompetent. Meetings conducted by corporate employees consisted of literally reading words off of PowerPoint slides, for hours - the guy gets paid six figures but can't demonstrate a semblance of creativity or enthusiasm? Mediocrity abounds. Entrenched front line employees are either viscerally unhappy with working conditions (which include long days in bad weather, no scheduled meal times, poorly operating and sometimes catostrophically unsafe equipment, low pay and pay raise freezes), or generally apathetic/incompetent. Zero, ZERO, long term career prospects. One 20 year employee was summarily fired after an accident resulted in $150 damage. Minute pay raises don't even scale with inflation.

Pros

Health insurance benefits are solid and the company has an established corporate structure. Pay is consistent, but those are the only notable positives.

Cons

Local management is ineffective, unprofessional, and visibly disengaged. Direct leadership lacked initiative, accountability, and basic communication skills, often appearing indifferent unless corporate oversight was involved. Expectations were unclear and inconsistently enforced, creating a disorganized and frustrating work environment. There was a noticeable reliance on surveillance rather than leadership. After receiving a final warning, camera monitoring became excessive and felt targeted, as if management was more focused on finding reasons to terminate employees than actually supporting improvement. The overall culture is unsupportive and transactional. Employees are treated as expendable rather than valued, which contributes to low morale, lack of trust, and high turnover. Stronger leadership at the local level is clearly lacking.
