A typical day at work was laid back and productive.
I leaned new things everyday about the job and about life in general.
Mangment was good. Had a great boss even though we didnt always see eye to eye.
My co-workers where great guys. Could work and have fun at the same time.
Nothing hard about the job except I was the only person in my position.
Most enjoyable where the vacation days and hours.
Pros
vacation days, and smoke breaks. Indeed.com, Username: Unknown
Open office, get ready for students both new and potential, provide information about the Flight school programs. General office duties, maintain accurate records for FAA, proctor exams of Airman Knowledge tests, data entry, maintain facility, provide tours, collect payments and make deposits. What was learned how to conduct yourself around planes and an airport safety. Management was great, they wanted everyone to be successful. Co-workers were always encouraging students and each other. Most difficult part of the job was when a student failed an exam. However the most enjoyable part was encouraging the student to continue to study, retake the exam and passing. Their smile and accomplishment of passing an exam was all worth it.
Pros
Working at the airport, watching Military planes land and meeting new people.
Cons
Long hours for students and instructors but well worth it in the end. Indeed.com, Username: Mesa
This place was very stressful to work at. Management was very hostile, and the working environment was not relaxed. Instructors are expected to work 7 days a week, with no days off, and very little breaks while at work. Pay is abysmal. A typical day at work was like walking on egg shells while trying to balance a 100 pound weight on the palm of your hand. One wrong word, one misstep, and it would be easy to be fired and replaced. Designated FAA examiners, who are technically not employed by ATP, are hostile to instructors and are not afraid to use leverage to get you fired if they do not like you. They do this through influence of management with an understanding of quid pro quo – as a result of the difficulty in obtaining a DE who is qualified in ATP aircraft (due to the bureaucratic mess required by the FAA) a happy DE is much more important than a happy flight instructor. This arrangement is very transparent and easily felt. Moreover, the Chief pilot was a borderline crazy person. There was no telling what he would say or do next, and if he did not like you, your experience would not be fun at all. If you have to instruct here, keep your head low, try not to make mistakes, get your time and get out as fast as can before you jeopardize your career!
Pros
Large fleet of Multiengine aircraft, This is becoming more irrelevant now as regionals will take anyone with a pulse and ATP mins
Cons
Everything. I have nightmares about this place. Indeed.com, username: Jacksonville Florida

Pros
Worth to work at. High standard and highly professional
Cons
It is not always tumb up. The best thing to do is to minimize down side and try always to shoot for the moon.

ATP is a great flight school
Cons
I do not have any Cons for working at ATP. Glassdoor.com user
I have been working at Airline Transport Professionals as a contractor
Pros
Planes are maintained properly and the curriculum is spelled out for you.
Cons
ATP pays far less than minimum wage but gives the illusion that its possible to make more by offering a sliding scale income- inferring that instructors choose not to fly 30 hours per pay period and ignoring the plane and student shortages and weather issues that keep us grounded.
Advice to Management
Pay your full-time employees, excuse me, “independent contractors,” enough to pay rent and eat. Period. Glassdoor.com user

Pros

Cons
Disorganized company from top to bottom, anyone can start if they have the money, people not doing what they can do, lots of favoritism, poor benefits, too much Drama
Advice to Management
Take time to talk to the employees. Glassdoor.com user

Pros
Above average pay for the location. Excellent benefits (health, 401k, vision, dental and free life insurance) are all VERY affordable. PLENTY of vacation time (roughly 2hrs pto earned per week). They put the profit back into the company. Unexpected raises, holiday bonuses, extra paid holidays, top notch shop equipment, etc. Work environment is very clean and organized. There is plenty of opportunity to lead and to le…

Cons
Nothing major comes to mind. ATP is a surprisingly LARGE company with a very short chain of command. This is good in many ways, but can be unnerving in others. On one hand, there is ZERO micromanagement and BIG decisions happen very quickly. On the other, if someone screws up in one maintenance location, a blanket policy is usually put in place company wide. This can be frustrating and feel a little disrespectful, bu…

Finding a way to open a line of communication between all maintenance managers would serve this company well. Standardizing our maintenance efforts would as well. Glassdoor.com user
