Pros

A good company who are open and honest with their employees. Business improvements are encouraged with the focus on the happiness of the workforce. Open to flexible working in certain roles and support a healthy work life balance. I have engaged with lots of good people who are actually happy in work throughout different departments in the business. The facilities and equipment provided to work in and with are to a high standard and well maintained. There are many work socials organised of a varied nature which employees are encouraged to attend but not forced to.

Cons

Due to the nature of the business and the customer, work priorities can change quickly so you have to be flexible and agile minded. Due to where the business is located on a military camp it can often take extra time getting to work and leaving work at peak times. Parking is at a premium on the base too.

Pros

The great thing about AirTanker is how close you work with your customer and your key suppliers - there is a very strong sense of community. The purpose of the company is very clear and employees are a very motivated and enthusiastic team who all want to do a great job for the customer. The blend of military and civilian experience makes this an exciting and innovative company to work for.

Cons

As a relatively young company its business processes are still maturing, so this company would not be a good fit for you if you need clear and detailed processes to follow at all times.

Pros

- The salary is decent compared to other companies

Cons

- Senior managers way out of their depth with no idea how to operate the company - Petty investigations for every move you make - Bullying is the norm - Sexual harassment of crew is acceptable - Awful rostering - Delays! endless amounts of them (24h delays over fixing an issue is the preference)
