AEVEX AEROSPACE

This company has a concerning approach when it comes to determining compensation, often offering pay that is not aligned with an individual's experience or qualifications.
Instead of basing salaries on relevant skills, experience, or industry standards, the company tends to offer higher starting wages based primarily on the employee's age or connections, rather than merit. The older an individual is, the more likely they are to receive a higher starting pay, regardless of whether their level of experience justifies it.
This practice can feel unfair and discouraging to employees who may have more relevant experience or skills but are offered lower compensation simply due to their age or lack of personal connections within the company. The company's promotion process is heavily influenced by a
"buddy system," where advancement opportunities are largely determined by who you know rather than the quality of your work. This often leads to situations where individuals who have strong connections within the company are favored for promotions, even if others are more qualified or have put in more effort. As a result, the hardest-working employees tend to get overlooked, leading to frustration and feelings of inequity. This favoritism creates a toxic work environment, where morale suffers, and employees feel demotivated or undervalued, knowing that their contributions are less likely to be recognized or rewarded unless they are part of the right social circle. The overall impact is a culture that undermines hard work and fosters resentment among team members.

AEVEX Aerospace Flight Operations is hands down the best place I've worked for a number of reasons. For starters, management really cares about what we think. They actively engage us for feedback, and although we make mistakes from time to time, instant feedback allows us to self-correct as a company.
The benefits are top notch, including 100% company paid medical, dental, and vision, a 401K with an immediately vesting match of 4%, $7,000 per year toward professional development, life insurance, and much more. You also receive a swag box with premium brand items like Lululemon, Yeti, Patagonia, Nike and more all emblazoned with the AEVEX logo. There are also quarterly contests with prizes for posting a selfie with your AEVEX swag and tagging the company.
The culture is very relaxed here at corporate headquarters. Dress code is business casual, and jeans are okay. I think the employee handbook states you just need to look clean and presentable, or something to that effect. Healthy snacks are provided in the break room (think hard boiled eggs, avocado toast, and fresh fruit!), as well as unlimited coffee and espresso.
For our contractors in the field we make every effort to help them feel close to home, soliciting feedback with a phone call at 30, 60, and 90 days of employment. We send birthday cards that we all sign, and holiday gifts.
All in all this is truly an amazing environment, and I can't say enough good things about it!

Pro:
- CEO is professional and respectful.
- Intelligence operations PM made great efforts to ameliorate the contract overseas.
- The pay was good & good benefits.

Cons:
- Operations manager repeatedly said that he has a dozen of resumes in hand to intimidate analysts with great arrogance. He used questionable management methods. 
- Project manager makes threats of termination for reporting issues to his attention such as travel days and unsafe air travels. 
- Company didn’t provide safe travels to their analysts overseas, letting them with no choice except to board airlines that were banned from flying by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for dozens of safety violations.
- Company doesn’t pay for travel days expenses from remote deployed location to the nearest International airport in the country.
- Company doesn’t have a clear unpaid leave policy.
- Before CSG changed its name to AEVEX, the company didn’t provide no leave days for their analysts.
- Operations director/ Vice president was very rude, extremely unprofessional and made threats of a lawsuit for simply bringing such grievances to his attention contrary to the consumer Fair Act/free speech.
- Company cares first and foremost about their revenues. Employees are disposable commodities.

The company is value focused and says the right thing for moral, inclusivity, and building relationships. It is run a bit like a start up even though it is a medium sized company. Many of the employees are contractors as a bulk of the work are services contracts. The growth of this company has been done by acquisitions of smaller companies that have what they want to improve their portfolio or product offering. There is a big shift in the business development side and the company was impacted by the base closures in the Middle East. The biggest obstacle I've seen is getting the new companies on board with the culture of the corporate office. Also the company isn't as transparent as I would like with changes. The con is the less experienced staffing of some key positions (nepotism).
Management is pretty good. Senior management tends to get too hands on when their are issues instead of asking what the manager needs and how they can support before micromanaging. 

Never have I worked in a place where employee welfare is a priority.  This is a priority for the CEO and it trickles down.  From the relaxed schedule to the healthy snacks.  This is a fun place to work.  There is no pretentious  people here.  Everyone is friendly and happy.  Everyone here works hard because they are happy to be here.   They want to succeed because they are happy.  Whenever a problem arises, everyone seems to work together to solve it.  Different Program Managers help each other out.  It is truly refreshing to work somewhere where people are not petty and protective because they fear for their jobs.  Of course to get hired here you need to be on top of your game.  So get prepared and bring a positive attitude.

What is the best part of working at the company?
-Great coworkers and supervision.

-Good benefits (including about $5000 per year in tuition/education reimbursement).

-It's genuinely interesting working on Raytheon MTS and Wescam MX-15HDi opto-mechanical sensors.

-Outstanding formal Wescam MX-15HDi in-depth training course paid for by company.

-Pretty laid-back work environment with a lot of personal freedom.

-Cost of living is pretty low in Clovis and there's some nice outdoorsy stuff only 3-4 hours away.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
-Limited OCONUS deployment opportunities at the moment (this is where you can make a considerable amount of money with this gig; in fact, about half of your annual stateside pay can be made with one 90-day OCONUS rotation - depending on the site).

-Living in Clovis is kind of soul-crushing unless you have a lot of hobbies or a family to distract you.

Company is not employee focused as they state. This concept collapses in execution. Another former employee called it a frat house mentality, which is accurate. In the end, they are driven by ratings from prime contractors and engage in shady back-door deals to push out competition. Massive conflicts of interest in contract acquisition and growth exposing individual employees to scrutiny. Willing to accept and promote employees with serious security infractions that affect mission and national security in order to increase contract size. Zero communication when concerns are expressed. Benefits are paltry at best.  No consideration given to seniority, experience, or subject matter expertise. Concerned with profit and pandering to poor management.

I have been working with CSG/ AEVEX Aerospace for 2 plus years and honestly, I have never been happier.  I have worked as a Contractor for over 15 years and have found my time at AEVEX to be rewarding and fulfilling.  From my co-workers to my Program Managers to the Executive level Officers, everyone is open and willing to help and listen when needed.  The atmosphere is laid back - but busy.  All team members are working towards the same goal and the Customers appreciate it.  AEVEX has grown a lot and with that comes fumbles- but in my experience all have been quick to help and make any deficiencies right in a timely fashion.  Go to the AEVEX website and check out the current openings- they might have somethign for you. PS - They have an AWESOME swag box !

Working at AEVEX Aerospace has been an incredible experience so far. From day one I have felt proud to be part of a company that supports missions that truly make a difference.

The people here are awesome. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about their work. The leadership team sets the tone. They are intelligent, reasonable, charismatic, and they challenge you to grow, which keeps things exciting and motivating.

I also love the small company vibe. You are not just a number here. Your work actually matters, and you can see the impact you make. The facility itself is great with convenient parking, a really nice gym, and free healthy snacks.

Overall, AEVEX is a place where you feel valued, inspired, and proud of what you do every day.
