Montair Aviation Employee Reviews in Pitt Meadows, BC

Montair is a company growing to quickly for what they can handle. The executive team cares about themselves and no one else, their employees are a second thought. The Executive Director of the company relies on others to do what he should be handling himself. Ask an employee at their secondary base in Alberta, and staff will tell you he's a student. Montair has potential moving forward, however not in the current state it's being managed.

Terrible management

Professional (Former Employee) - Pitts Meadows, BC - 12 January 2023

There is zero structure, absolutely no training or want to put time into the employees they hire, they belittle, condescend and talk down to you as if you aren’t good enough. They are extremely unprofessional and cheap. Lots of politics and gossip. Management think they’re better than everyone and don’t know what they’re doing.

good place to learn about aviation

Administrative Support (Current Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 9 June 2021

Management has been open to suggested administrative changes in process or procedure and responds promptly. I generally like all the staff I have worked with and find the senior management of the company treats all employees well. There are a variety of levels of responsibility in the area I work and I find the environment interesting. My days are filled and there is no time to look at the clock. I have learned a bit about aviation. In any job, you get out what you put in and I feel some of the other commentators have not adequately demonstrated their concerns. I feel valued and enjoy my job.

Pros

expanding company; possible room to move and grow

Cons

there is no public transit close - not the fault of the company!

Want to be disappointed?

Office Clerk (Former Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 25 September 2019

Worst company I have ever worked for. They are so unorganized and the team of executives only care about themselves. The HR department is so desperate for reviews they go around the office and ask people to write positive reviews. I was used and abused and best decision I ever made was leaving.

Pros

None.

Cons

Working there

Great Place to Grow

Manager (Current Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 26 August 2019

Montair is great about giving employees opportunities to grow and advance. They have been incredibly supportive of my continued education and have been happy to award me with more responsibilities as I become ready to take them on. While I would highly recommend working for the company, I should note it is important to have a start-up mind set if you wish to work here, as roles, responsibilities, and plans frequently change due in part to how quickly the company is growing. While some enjoy this type of atmosphere, myself included, I recognize this can be frustrating to others. In my experience the pay is good, upper management is supportive, and the staff friendly. The only negative items I can think of would be that the physical location is perhaps not ideal for transit users, and the benefits package is fairly bare bones. Overall though, I would certainly recommend working here; there is plenty of opportunity for career growth and development in a supportive and friendly atmosphere.

I have seen a lot of people be promoted and everyone is friendly and easy to get along with. I enjoy coming to work and find the atmosphere positive. If you want to have room for growth this is the place to be. There have been lots of changes in the company but the changes are for the better.

bad managent

Instructor (Part-time) (Former Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 3 March 2019

Manager never responds to employees emails and phone calls. He never has time for his staff. I like the staff. I had a falling out with them because they did not issue my paycheck on payday and I was upset about it. I voiced my indignation to the manager's secretary and he did not want to have me back as a result. He did not admit to his mistake and did not want to take any responsibility for it. I did not like it.

Pros

friendly instructors

Cons

disorganized management

Fast Growing Company

Administrator (Current Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 6 February 2019

Montair has been a fantastic company to work for and I enjoy coming to work every day. The company is fast growing so there are new opportunities arising all the time. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with different people from all backgrounds. You can learn a lot from everyone here and can really see the impact that your position (and everyone else's) makes in the company.

Over worked, poor management

Other (Former Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 16 September 2018

Although the company is improving, it tends to over work it's staff, notably the pilots. There has been high turn over in the past. Management is poor and often asks for unrealistic goals with extremely short notice. Overall there is just really bad planning and execution.

I loved the people I worked with at Montair. Working here felt like you were apart of a family. I learned more how to use excel spreadsheets in an office setting.

Great place to get hours. High pressure stressful environment

Flight Instructor (Current Employee) - Pitt Meadows, BC - 10 July 2017

Good school to acquire lots of flight time however you must deal with constant pressure and stress from management to meet tough sudden deadlines. Poor planning and communication from management on delegating and preparing ahead of time to complete each task and reaching milestones. Environment can get toxic occasionally but all staff are hard working pleasant to work with.

Pros

Lots of flight hours

Cons

Long hours with lots of added pressure from managment
