My experience has been positive, meaningful, and challenging

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I've seen and been part of the growth if this company over many years. I believe that the leadership and the people all try to live our WHY everyday while adhearing to our values. AEVEX is a great place to work and being part of an innovative and growing company is exciting.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

People are generally in alignment with our values and why. Folks tend to like working here and those that leave often express interest in returning. I think we have some misalignment in compensation and raises; 401k match, COLA, pay rate, and PMs should be part of the bonus pool.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I believe they are bought into the AEVEX culture and values.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

It is a positive environment, people are supportive and focused on the team.

What makes you most happy at work?

Variety, i have the same type of work buy the specifics of projects vary.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I believe they are competent and invested in the values and goals of the company.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The team as a whole is bought into the culture and focused on the customer anf mission.

What are some of the best things about your team?

My team is highly skilled and folks are motivated to do a good job because of the mission.

What makes you most happy at work?

I enjoy the dynamics of my job and the autonomy to work within the guardrails given for me in my position.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Personnel are focused on the mission, programs, and our customers, as well as our employees. They are professionals, all with different talents that lend to the expansion of capabilities in AEVEX.

What are some of the best things about your team?

They know their job or are making legitimate efforts to learn and grow into it. They are all dedicated to the company amd the work we do and missions amd customers we support.

What makes you most happy at work?

There is a thread of steady base business with a good amount of variety and new efforts being bid and coming in the door. I enjoy that mix along with leading and mentoring my team.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I believe the leadership team is focused on doing what's right to scale the company while providing a meaningful value proposition to our customer, teammates, and ourselves. I do believe they care about the work and the people.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

A lot of effort has been put into the culture and in general reality matches what we say it is. It can be difficult for a company to maintain its culture as it scales and I've seen some indications of that here over the last year or two.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Base pay is low compared to responsibility not just for me but across the company. There is often an issue with more recent hires direct and non-direct getting paid more than seasoned loyal employees. Focus seems to be on the pay for recruiting new talent vs retaining valued employees.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Our 401k match does not provide a reasonable percentage to be a legitimate part of an individuals retirement plan. Wages have not kept up with inflation, AEVEX should of course base raises on merit but also a base COLA increase that compensates employees for inflation should be the starting point.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I feel that progress has been made but Im still on the mid to lower end if the scale for my position. There is little room for advancement and new people are brought into the company and often times compensated more than people that have been here for years and working hard with proven results.
