What is the best part of working at the company?
Getting recruiting experience and the free snacks.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The industry is changing and the company is super cheap. They hire people and then fire them when they don’t reach a spread goal. If your above 7,500 in spread your safe and earn commission. If you’re under you have 3 months for each spread goal (2,500, 5000, 7,500) if you fail to reach your goal you will be fired.
You have to wait forever for client feedback which then candidates are going elsewhere. 
Management will tell you to place your candidate anywhere in the states if their resume fits what the client wants. However the there are many older and new generation people that no longer want to travel that far away from home and also know the industry has less mechanics than they need and want more money even if they have less experience. Plus other aviation companies are sourcing from the same areas you are as well as your co workers.
The money isn’t worth all the stress and likely short term job. 
Management have favorites as well like most places if you’re not a favorite or missing your goal, your manager barely speaks to you as he k owe your going to be fired.
There are only men Team Leads. Most people there just got out of college or in their mid 20’s

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic company as they are cheap and don’t see value in their recruiters and it’s burn and churn.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meetings, having to make 50 calls or more and just getting voicemails and if you do connect most of the candidates are speaking with the completion and they are paying more than launch

A typical day involves disassembly of DASH 8 TURBO PROP aircraft by removing flight controls, wing access panels (that's where the fuel is stored), all the passenger seats, cockpit seats, floor panels, and walls, and breaking the aircraft down to a skeleton, for heavy check inspection. I've learned that, by working hard, fast-paced, and not concentrating on all I have to do, that I can actually move a mountain of work singlehandedly in one shift; it is absolutely amazing what one person can really and truly do alone in one shift.
I've met co-workers from all over the world and this is one of the most interesting aspects of working in aviation.  The hardest part of the job is the stress of knowing there is a possibility that I didn't torque something correctly, left a tool inside the flight control cables, left something undone, or that some inexperienced person made a mistake that I didn't see. The most enjoyable part of the job is the money; but, I LOVE truck driving, and I can actually earn more driving a truck ( as long as I can get a union position).

Spend your day locating mechanics and try to match the right mechanic with the requirements set by the client.
I learned many office skills, and the many different types of aircrafts and the many different types of mechanic that do those particular skill sets.

Hardest part of your job is counting on the mechanics to stay true to their word and do their part. It sucks because you can not control the actions of someone else.
 My direct manager could be difficult,I often felt I lost the manager lottery I felt I would have been more aggressive in my submittles but i felt intimidated by my manager, and would often hold back on submittals. Which ultimately led me to m=not produce the required number of candidates.
The rest of the management team was ok.
Best part of the job were the hours and the benefits, other words the job is stressful.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great location selections and placement
Pay scale set up helps financial recovery
Always immediate response of company representative for resolve


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I had no stressful experience with the job placement agency

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company places you in different jobs available, it is up to the individual to examine the culture of a location. I personally have always had great job location placement and quick response from representatives if I had an issue.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I interacted with the company through the company app only, to clock in and out, the application very user friendly.

Contract work is not really a good way to go for my culture. I don't really like motel/hotel living for the long term. This company Launch I still have association with and they are fair and capable. I don't have any negative things to say about their operation. I believe they are one of the better Aviation Contract Agency's. Notice I have been talking about my employer. The agency. The actual work site location is a different matter that Launch has no control over or authority over.
There were concerns at the last assignment location in Wichita. The main thing is all corporations have plus and minus considerations.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Launch is a temp agency that really does care about seeing its employees prosper into fulfilling careers.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not that much stress at all. The only stress is becoming a direct employee at whatever company you are contacting for, if that is your desire.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They care about you as long as you care about your job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Typical day for any company, show up work your behind off then go home and relax.

A typical day at work consists with the knowledge before going out to do the job. they always say if you've never done it once let someone know and they'll clear things up with someone whose an expert or has down it a few times to point you in the direct position. managements always making sure you follow and stay within he regulations and making sure you work in a timely manner. the most enjoyable thing at work is the group of people i work with. we all horse around but always get more than what is needed done.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good job , good coworkers, nice environment.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with rude management. Got rules but do not follow them. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Management , all others are second class citizens.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on what shift you work. Same stuff different day.

Currently work for PlaneTechs as an internal employee.  Room for advancement if you work hard and want to move up. They've revamped their training program for recruiters and provide an environment built for success.  Every recruiter I've worked with here always has the mechanic's best interest in mind.  They really work hard to do the right thing and make sure the mechanic has the best options available.

Contract work for Launch is what you make of it and is a learning experience if you are starting out new in aviation. Clock in, get with your team and start the storage induction of a new Boeing or Airbus plane.
Hardest part of the job is finding the proper supplies and equipment at the right time, if there is any at all during the time you or your team needs it. Most enjoyable part of the job is using lifts to lubricate these big sophisticated airplanes.
