Pros

Benefits and a cool project working on the main rotor blade.

Cons

Management and shift leaders. Toxic environment and backstabbing opportunists. No team effort even when they claim teamwork. Lose adherence FAA standards. if you question an engineer or use your stop work authority to get answers... you become a target not an asset to the collective. 18-month hire and fire layoffs are the game here then mass hires. Expect 12+ 6 days a week.
