Perimeter Aviation

A Typical day working at Perimeter Aviation was about team work, safety and cleanliness. What I have learned at Perimeter was how to work at a fast pace to obtain healthy cleanliness inside an aircraft and work with the society. Management in the company was very proffesional and met all safety standards. The co-workers in the company were very supportive and trained me to know all the steps on how to keep an aircraft in a suitable clean manner. The hardest part of the job was working in very hot conditions inside the aircraft but, the job was always completed. The most enjoyably part of the job was working to make the customers happy to fly in a clean aircrafts. As well as cleaning offices, lounges, bathrooms for other co-workers of the company for new cleaning experiences.

You'll be making basically under minimum wage when all is said and done. They will use words like "you're scheduled for 16 days a month but there's a chance you won't work all of them!", don't be fooled. Even if you don't work all 16 you can work up to 14 hours each workday. The turnover rate on the flight attendant side is extremely high for a reason. 

The management is extremely chaotic. No one communicates efficiently and if they don't like you, good luck. Nothing is consistent for each employee. 

The pay is extremely low, as a flight attendant, your starting salary is 29,000 before taxes so your take-home isn't very high. You're better off working a serving job, you will make more tips at the end of the day. 

The job seems cool and like it could be a fun experience (which it is), but there is no advancement in the company. Unless you dream of being a pilot, fresh out of high school with no experience, and just want a full-time job, I wouldn't recommend it. 

Management is incompetent and chaotic, loves to say do what you can but will get angry if doing what you can and doing what they want don't align, which they never will because the company fails to provide the resources required to even meet the minimum requirements of a functional airline.  Lines of communication are nonexistent, get used to management asking you the same questions over and over while ignoring your response.  Company seems to have plenty enough money to buy more aircraft but won't spend a dime on the tools, servicing equipment, and parts required to keep the ones they already have serviceable.  Maintenance staff gets blamed for literally every failing of the company.

The work you'll do is hard work you'll be on the move constantly and it is a really fast paced environment. 

The pay is abysmal and the benefits are poor. Workplace culture can be toxic during my time I've seen people being bullied into quitting if it be from Co-Workers or from Management.

You'll be working rotational work with days being 12 hours long.

You will learn a lot about working in a warehouse setting operating a forklift (without a license) receive dangerous goods training That'll help you look for a better job elsewhere. Advancement within the company is non-existent unless you're a pilot.

usually its good day work on time and wait for the customers, while waiting for the customers to arrive  sit around have coffee. At first working for this company I had to get use to it fast because the manager told me this is a fast paced job an for the next few month I didn't do the dangerous goods paper work or handle it too because I did not had my dangerous goods certificate yet. Working with co-workers was good. At first it seems kind of complicated and hard, but when you get use to it, its actually its a fun job. I enjoyed working for this company.

On call 24/7 for 2 weeks no time for your self or appointments. Very likely your planes will be broken or you won't have pilots. Then   you do admin duties that are not your responsibility or do ground transports. Base salary is meager  unless you work and get your trip bonus on average will be 200-400 additional each month the only perk is your LOA 50-$70 a day tax free. Management will always represent the best interests of the company before the staff. Hardest part of the job is the constant change in hours and staying in the noisy accommodation provided with very poor air quality. Perks you make a pay cheque until you find a better job.

Working at perimeter medivac is ok. As long as you like working long hours, variable sleep patterns, delays due to planes broken down or lack of pilots. Your OT is averaged over 12 weeks so if you work 2/2 shift they take the 42 days you work in 3 months and average the hours worked. if its over 12 hours you get over time. In 2 years I only got OT on one pay cheque. You literally have to work over 15 hours to get any OT in a work day. Management is money driven as its a private airline. Your just a number makine a pay cheque. 2 years was long enough. If you have other options I would explore them. 

Perimeter has many faults, as a cargo agent there is 0 incentive to work hard and no punishment for not working at all, and not showing up. There are currently employed cargo reveivers that work as little as 3 days a week when they are scheduled for 5, this has been an ongoing issue. Certain responsibilities in cargo are completely forgone as we do not have adequate manpower or resources. As an employee it's quite challenging to have customers tell us their upset constantly about easily fixable issues which are continually ignored by management.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Going on orientation flights to small remote Indigenous communities.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waiting for RAIC documentation to be approved. 2. An unusual number of delays in training schedule.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Good trainers who also made it fun as well. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Everyday was different I liked it very much.

My career and life have not been up to par as the best job or quality of life as possible. I will say it can be alot better in some areas. I do not feel it has developed to its best potenial as of yet but I am still optimistic. More time needed to settle and get used to it but I'm hungry for more out of life. I need a better chance to move into a state of comfort in quality and satisfaction to help people out as well as career wise.
