General MRO Aerospace

I have been with in this company for about 6 years, and it feels  like a home to me. You can feel the love, respect and dedication from everyone. 

GMA is an inclusive company that respects everyone's Faith,  and give equal opportunities for the employees to feel welcomed and have fun. 

Events like our Halloween contest (for those who want to participate, they offer a gift card for the best costume contest. I have personal won at least twice).  Ugly sweater, secret Santa, holiday party, monthly birthday celebrations for all employees.  

Fun group activities like ping pong, football, popcorn Fridays, luncheons (a recognition to the employees  for the effort and dedication).  Activities like this and the constant support makes GMA a great place to work. 

Everyone from this company are hard worker employees, including the owners who also devote all their time to support the employees to allow them to succeed within the company and if you have new opportunities elsewhere  they will continue to support you because they are grateful for what have you done for the company, and they are satisfied that they taught you and help you to grow and become the professional you are today.   

I am deeply thankful for this opportunity; every memory, every learning experience and every travel opportunity  that I have received. Representing the company in conferences like the ACPC, MRO Americas, the PB Expo and more, hosted meetings, tours of the facility and connected with so many professionals in the aviation field,  a marvelous industry that I became part of thanks to this company.  

I am deeply thankful for everything this company and their beautiful people have done for me, an special thank you to Fabiola Ortega, she is a great leader of this company and her professionalism makes me respect her as the great manager she is. I am glad to say that the doors of this company will remain open for me and is a mutual feeling where I will always be willing to help my family, General MRO Aerospace.   

I worked at General MRO Aerospace for a couple of months, and it was an experience I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. This company has an abysmal lack of consideration for its hardworking employees. From the top down, the atmosphere is suffocating stressful, and the owners are perennially dissatisfied.

First and foremost, the lack of teamwork is glaring. Rather than fostering a collaborative environment, General MRO thrives on pitting employees against each other. It's a toxic breeding ground for office politics and unnecessary stress.

One of the most egregious aspects of working here is the absurd level of micromanagement. If you're even a minute late, be prepared for a meeting about punctuality. And don't even think about using the bathroom without receiving a message questioning your frequency of breaks. It's as if they're more concerned with bathroom usage than actual productivity.

The workload is beyond excessive. Employees are expected to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously without any consideration for work-life balance. It's a recipe for burnout, and it's no wonder that 15 people have quit or left this company since my brief tenure.

Let's talk about management, or should I say mismanagement? The leadership at General MRO is utterly incompetent. HR is practically nonexistent, offering no support or guidance to employees. Training is a joke, leaving new hires to fend for themselves in a sea of confusion.

Inconsistency is the only consistent thing about this company. Rules and expectations change on a whim, leaving employees feeling perpetually on edge.

In conclusion, avoid General MRO Aerospace like the plague. It's a sinking ship, and no amount of loyalty or hard work will save you from drowning in its toxic culture.

If I could give this GMA negative stars I would. The fish rots at the head and ownership should write a book about how to run a company that fails at every level. It's a miracle this place is still profitable given how parts never come out of the shop on time yet
somehow they have some repeat customers. I guess they are willing to pay the low prices to deal with this headache of a company.

As an employee, there is no room for advancement and pay is substandard, unless you are related to the family since nepotism runs wild in this place. Turnover is incredibly high and that's because management pays bottom of the barrel wages, has no training in place, and then wonders why their employees don't perform and fail. Work culture is incredibly toxic and ownership loves openly blaming and demeaning their employees in front of the whole office. This causes everyone to live in a constant
state of fear and point fingers at each other and play the blame game. But don't worry when company morale hits a new low every month they will throw an "employee appreciation day" where they
will give an inspirational speech saying how "we are family and we have accomplished so much thanks to you", and then serve noodles and ketchup
to their employees while ownership goes out to eat at a fancy restaurant since they would not feed that food to their dogs.

Monkey fights at the zoo are more organized than this place. If your desire is to be underpaid and be miserable at your job every time you step foot into your place of employment, then GMA is the
perfect place for you.

From my experience, General MRO Aerospace lacks opportunities for growth. The commission structure they promise is unattainable, creating false hope and encouraging you to work harder for rewards that never come. The time-off benefits are minimal, and the health insurance provided isn’t worth the cost.
The employee handbook contains numerous loopholes that undermine employee benefits. For example, if you call out sick, even with a valid doctor’s note for illnesses like the flu or COVID, you lose your paid holiday. There is no separate sick leave, so any sick days must come out of your PTO balance. Additionally, while you’re told you’ll gain 401(k) benefits after a year with the company, this isn’t accurate because open enrollment is only in January, meaning you could surpass your one-year mark but still not qualify until the following year.
Another frustrating policy is that if the company gives the entire team a day off, it will not be paid. If you want to get paid for that day, you are required to use your PTO, further depleting your already limited time off.
Annual reviews aren’t standard practice, and even if you request one, the feedback focuses solely on improving numbers rather than acknowledging your overall performance or contributions. The company also directs blame at departments unable to address systemic issues instead of focusing on where the real problems lie.
Overall, the work environment is frustrating, with misleading policies, unfair practices, and limited support for employees.


STAY CLEAR!!!! TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT!!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT!!! SUPER HIGH TURNOVER!!! LACK OF GROWTH, APPRECIATION, AND RESPECT FOR EMPLOYEES!!! People in management and training have no aviation experience. Most don't speak English only Spanish. For the time I've worked for this company i've seen ATLEAST 20 employees quit. Half the workforce is currently gone and the rest are expected to pick up the slack. The day after hurricane Dorian 7 people quit all at once due to frustration with the company and management. On that Friday they decided to have an "employee appreciation day" with the intentions to smooth things out with disgruntled employees. Any technician, customer representative, even if your an A&P with ANY experience in aviation you should LOOK AWAY from this company. It is not a great place to learn, develop, and be appreciated for your service. Very stressful environment, huge gaps in communication and policy changes, Implementations without proper notification, technicians are considered "animals" and the shop "a jungle"...Its an absolute circus!

Worked at this company for a couple of months, since then 15 people have quit or left this company. Amongst these were shop technicians, bench test technicians, quality control personnel, customer service personnel , shipping personnel, stock room personnel & even their own managers. Mainly because of the awesome micromanaging skills of the owners and their charm. Looking at employees like second class citizens no matter what your job description is you are sure to meet the stern glares of either a rude & uncultured business mogul, a hate filled hypocritical drill sergeant, a lazy narcissist, or a flat out hood hustler, better known as the owner micromanaging team. These gentlemen care more about their pockets than their employees and have created a nightmare of a work environment disguised as a repair station. IF YOU ARE THINKING OF APPLYING TO GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE OR BETTER YOURSELF, SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHES. Their management team was inexperienced and as effective as their attempts at reaching their sales goals every month and they squeezed every last drop out of their employees while being puppeteered by the micromanaging team. NOT WORTH THE RISK AND NOT WORTH THE STRESS. KEEP IN MIND THIS SHOP DOES NOT FOLLOW FAR’s, APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

GMA is a world class repair facility that provides learning and leadership opportunities to employees who choose to take advantage of them. This place is not for unmotivated people. Those who are successful, have a go getter attitude and only look for solutions to complex challenges. If you are not someone who has attributes of a leader and you do not want access and opportunities to learn various and job functions and grow into a subject matter expert then GMA is not for you. No company is perfect. We all get what we want out of a situation. In my experience, The culture is family oriented. I have never had a problem with ownership. They have always been receptive of new ideas or been available for dialogue to find the best solution or share knowledge. A typical day for me is never the same as the last but that works for me because I like new challenges, I like always moving and not being stagnant, I'm not lazy or unmotivated so I feel comfortable in a fast paced environment. I love what I do and I'm looking forward to my future with GMA.

a typical day at work = SO MUCH STRESS YOU WONDER IF YOU SHOULD JUST QUIT OR EVEN DREAD SHOWING UP WITHOUT HAVING ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY IN HAND.
what you learned = TRAININGS ARE THERE FOR PAPERWORK POURPOSES AND LIABILITY PURPOSES. NOTHING MORE.
management = ONLY CARES ABOUT WATCHING THEIR POCKETS AND ARE HAVING A WAR EVERY MONTH IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM TO PLAY THE BLAME GAME.
workplace culture = THERE IS NONE. EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SCARED OF LOSING THEIR JOBS. GOOD PEOPLE BUT TERRIBLE TOXIC ENVIROMENT.
the hardest part of the job = GETTING UP IN THE MORNING, FEELING HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU DO WITHOUT FEELING FEARFUL OF WHAT DRASTIC CHANGE THE COMPANY MIGHT MAKE TOMORROW.
the most enjoyable part of the job = GOING HOME.

General MRO Aerospace is a strong and growing organization that truly cares about their employees.  There is a strong expectation to perform and provide Customers the highest level of quality and service. This is rewarded with good compensation, good health care & 401k benefits, and overall recognition for a job well done.  Senior leadership is visible and approachable to discuss any concerns employees may have.  The company hosts quarterly events to show employee appreciation and celebrate the growth and success of the business. From the Cleaning Staff to the General Manager, all employees are respected and cared for as unique individuals that contribute to the collective success of the business.  
It is great to be a part of a company with a strong culture that values Employee Competence, Strong Work Ethic, Superior Customer Service, and Quality Products and Services. 

Oh my god if I could give this company a 0 it still wouldn't be enough. This is the worse company I have every worked for. I worked here for 2 years and I don't know how I lasted so much. People come and go every day, they don't care about their employees at all for them they see it as ill get someone else. They will treat you like a dog and I am saying it as it is I had management scream in my face so many times it's not even funny. They only care about one thing and that is their profits. You have a thousand people giving you different directions and they'll scream at you when you do as another instructed. They expect you to live there and they will get mad when you don't. They don't like to raise your salary and will get mad when you ask. Trust me and stay away this is a horrible company.
