Been working here for a couple years and business is picking up which is good. We make more money than the company ever has. But on the other hand there is no employee appreciation at all. They hire anyone and management is poor so most good workers pick up the slack of the of the lazy ones. 2nd shift has no management and that is severely being taken advantage of. Raises are not based on performance and when they happen to give them out it is not very much. They only take care of the people that have been there the longest. Corners are cut and not everything is done by the book. Micromanaging from leads of different cells is very bad (due to there being no management). One good thing about this place is you more than likely can get trained in various cells. Gain lots of knowledge about airplane part repairing, using tooling, machining, robots etc.

BP Aerospace is a growing company with a lot of potential to advance. A typical day is a 8 hour work shift Monday thru Friday, and over time is available most of the year. I learned to become a leader in the wrap department where I over see about 3 to 5 workers. The management at the company is okay, and the culture at the company is good. The hardest part about the job is dealing with so many different feelings with the workers about trying to make them better overall workers. The most enjoyable part about the job is that the stress meter of working here is low, and also they have cool air during the hot summer months which is a plus.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The environment in which I work and the team support 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Any time it’s slow and not enough work 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Well in my department it ok everybody gets along and it’s different every day 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Busy planned out moving forward to the next thing scheduled

The expectation was to work your hands to the bone with an impact wrench for 10 hours a day otherwise you weren't seen as a team player.  They had no PPE for handling hazardous materials and washed it all down the drains when they were done.  I would not recommend working there if you value your own health and well being.

The company has been open for less than 10 years. So they potential for growth is limitless. the I really liked working for this company and I managed to make many friends.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stay because of layoffs due to a slowdown in the aero repair business.

Managment is poorly supervised to the point where they do whatever they want. They demand work from others while they do no work themselves. Ops manager also lies to anyone when it involves raises, work, and promises.

Got to learn a lot about aviation how to tear down with a team of mechanics a airplane engine also how to properly load and unload materials from flatbed

Great work environment and a great place for young aircraft mechanics to leave and strive in this career field. Come in with a great attitude and leave with more knowledge in the field.

Productive fun work place. Learn lots of cool stuff about working with turbine engines. Fun work environment with great people that help the day pass by fast.

Management made work life uncomfortable for employees, there is no structure, improper planning during work operations do not follow PMA/FAA regulations STAY AWAY
