There are several different things I enjoy about my job. I love the diversity, my co-workers and the family community

Not a challenging place to work at, it is in a nice place to be.

I worked for AAR Mobility in Cadillac, MI for about 4 years.. off and on.. I was laid off a total of 2 of those 4 years. Floor managers were mostly nice and but I can think of 1 that actually had their stuff together.

The pay was decent until the Union was bluffed into taking a 30% pay cut for half of the workforce with the promise of no reduction – more... in workforce. Over the last year, there has been a major reduction in workforce as work is routed to NC.

It wasn't a bad place to work, but today it's a skeleton in a dying town. – less

Great staff, excellent work environment, its a lot of work but i enjoy it very much.

I was in the military prior to this job and I rarely had to be at work so early. Also I had been working in the hanger I was assigned to for about a month before they told me who my direct supervisor was. For me as a none certified mechanic, they had little to no work for me to do most of the time. So I left and went back home. Would not suggest anyone – more... this job. – less

Current Employee.

- Excellent leadership
- Promising field (aviation logistics)
- Technically challenging

Good group of people - hard workers
Upper Management weak
Demanding
Challenging

Excellent and caring management. They treat their employees with the respect they deserve regardless of their job title.

People don't matter at AAR, only the bottom line. There is no room to advance and it shows by the many disgruntled workers. The company ruins all the fun that aviation has to offer. If you have an A & P don't waste it at AAR because there is so many places where you will be valued unlike AAR.

To many bosses, cut corners all the time, that is close enough attitude. dropped insurance all the time. A job that will not be around long as it stands now.

very busy days where you learned a lot .got invloved with project that had to do with difrent airplanes

More interested in cutting corners than doing the right thing. Management completely lacks morals and ethics. Do your research on this branch before committing yourself to them. I have heard good things about the rest of AAR's locations (e.g. Indianapolis, Chicago). Too many levels of management. Friends hiring friends, very little experience in positions – more... of authority. – less

It was a great experience, very entrepenurial spirit. I would recommend working here.

Great Companyand love the oppertunities for advancement.
