Pros

A big plus is that it is not completely repetitive. The types of job cards are mostly similar but with just enough difference to keep your attention focused. No real chance to get complacent. You get to work on Airbuses. HAECO is widely respected in the aviation community so it looks good on resume.

Cons

Most of the leads have no skill with managing people and are consistently under utilizing their team. There is no cross training so if there is no work for your skill department you have to walk around to the other hangers to beg for job cards in order to make a days pay. sometimes you can go a week without work and the company only pays you for two hours a day on those days. Overtime is rare and only allowed in the hanger you are assigned so if another hanger needs more people to work and you have no plane you still can't work on your day off. your pay is not consistent.

Pros

The people you work with day to day are great

Cons

Lower than average pay. Upper management does not seem to remember working day to day on the floor. Very high pressure/stress even though they tell you it is not.
