What is the best part of working at the company?
Going home at the end of the day 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
My experience at this company has been deeply disappointing, primarily due to issues with leadership and the complete lack of growth opportunities.

The leadership team consistently demonstrates a troubling level of incompetence when it comes to planning, communication, and decision-making. Important decisions are often made without proper understanding of how they affect daily operations, which creates confusion and unnecessary stress for employees who are expected to implement those decisions. Problems that could be solved with basic organization or communication frequently escalate because leadership fails to take accountability or address them effectively.

Equally concerning is the lack of honesty from management. Promises about improvements, staffing, scheduling, and workplace policies are frequently made but rarely followed through. Information is often withheld or changed without explanation, leaving employees feeling misled and undervalued. Transparency appears to be a low priority, which erodes trust across the entire workplace.

Another major issue is the absence of any meaningful path for advancement. Despite employees putting in hard work and demonstrating capability, there are virtually no opportunities to move up within the organization. Promotions are either nonexistent or handled in ways that seem arbitrary and disconnected from performance. This creates an environment where motivation and morale steadily decline because there is no incentive to grow or stay long term.

Overall, the combination of ineffective leadership, questionable honesty, and a lack of career development makes it very difficult to recommend this workplace. A healthy organization requires competent management, transparent communication, and clear opportunities for employees to advance—none of which are currently present here.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good ole boy clique. Nobody in leadership leads by example.  They will talk trash about others, sit in their office/shop in social media etc but criticize and counsel their own techs if they do the same thing.

A typical work day focuses on how I can make multiple departments more efficient from a communication standpoint. I must maintain trip itinerary information as well as crew scheduling and maintenance tickets to ensure that our pilots out there on the road have the most current and correct information for there duty day. 
We also must switch gears and have a high customer service standards when talking to brokers and clients that would like to use our services.
We have a team of teams approach that even though some things are not technically my job, it is imperative that I learn about other job functions from my co-workers to help ensure our clients have the best experience as possible.
The best part of my day is when I can help solve problems for our pilots on the road completing their mission from all over the world. 
The hardest part is that sometimes the puzzle pieces that you had planned just don't work and you have to change directions which could ultimately make it harder on a teammate or client.

Team leads are blamed for EVERY inconvenience by maintenance "management" and they have 12 job descriptions because they have to do everything. 0 safety culture, it is all about making money. So much so that inspections are signed off without doing them because we "don't have the money for tooling." If you find something that will cost money or time to fix, airworthiness or not, it will be signed off by the DOM or the manager because that aircraft has to be "in PBI in the morning." They will throw money at anything but what the maintenance floor needs. The FAA should just rent an office here since they show up so often. Lot's of threats and yelling but nothing gets done except write up the technician's. New grads from A/P school will start with the same pay as a 10-20 year mechanic with no justification. Until a complete fire/hire and restructure with legitimate leaders are placed this place will eventually hurt someone. Sorry not sorry.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting to work on unique and challenging tasks.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Financial issues in the company whichlead to lack of job security. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic, managers pick favorites and create narratives which can be completely false.  They undermine senior leadership and we end up building tools that no one use.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical scrum style meetings with mostly heads down time.  A large portion of my time as a software engineer was spent trying to identify my stakeholders.  I mean this literally.  Trying to find out who was the end user, and then trying to understand functional requirements.

When I began working at flyExclusive, I was alarmed by the work culture. Leadership and individuals openly cussed, made provocative jokes, and engaged in office drama that was not relevant to the work. Secondly, I was alarmed that private conversations had between employees and their managers were leaked out to other team members. While working there many individuals talked down towards our department openly and on internal forums using Teams and this was tolerated. There was no career pathway development for employees. Additionally, the skills learned are only good for an aviation company. If the company closes or is sold, there is no other company nearby to utilize the training or skills. 

This is an amazing opportunity in this great town in Eastern NC. The cost of living is amazing compared to any city. My salary goes so much further than any of my past aviation companies. So close to the beach and mountains are only 5 hours away. I get to live in a place where I can enjoy my off time.  Management has changed in the past year and there is more of a clear vision on the direction of the company. A couple of departments have been restructured for efficiencies. Definitely some growing pains this past year but I feel like management is transparent in their monthly meetings.

This company would be a great place to work if they would focus on the root cause of issues and attack them. Need to focus on workplace culture more and ensuring mid-level management is equipped to properly lead from the front. More two-way feedback should be happening but isn't. Praise and constructive criticism should be equal parts. Employees lose motivation when only negative things are pointed out and never accomplishments. Needs to be a balance.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every day was a wonderful day at Fly Exclusive

I've been with this "company" for 15 years now, there is not any other place I would rather be. This company is FAMILY, we work hard and strive for the best at all times. We are friendly and genuinely care about each other.  I can promise you, when you walk in the door to work, you will laugh and smile most of the day. You will have to work hard, and sometimes even harder to achieve your goals but I promise, the feeling that you have once everything is accomplished, is amazing.  If I had to name anything "hard" about my job, it would be the hours that I put in. BUT, that is all on me.  And the best part...the very best part...is the people.

Inexperienced management with Napoleon complex syndrome. There’s a constant feeling of insecurity and instability in the work floor that makes it impossible to feel comfortable in the workplace. Every day there is a new unnecessary change that makes no sense. Promoting are given based on friendship rather than qualifications. The pay is good for the area but the stress and treatment towards employees outweighs the benefits of the pay. Added stress from management brings morale down.
