Vector Aerospace

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Vector Aerospace, a great employer, good benefits all around.
One drawback, whilst I enjoyed my job, I felt I was not challenged enough.
When I asked for a raise I was told because I did not have my MRO (maintenance repair and overhaul) qualification, therefore I could not get a raise, even though I was hired on as a Millwright not an MRO tech.
When I found a new job and gave my 2 weeks notice, my manager asked me if they gave a raise would I stay? I found that very interesting.

As a whole, I would recommend the company as a good employer, a good retirement job for someone.

If I had a shorter commute I would have let some things not bother me, but the commute of 1 hr in the morning and sometimes upto 4 hrs on the way home, kind of made the little things snowball.

I have been with this company for almost 17 years, it's with heavy heart that I'm leaving.  The only reason why I'm leaving is to move to Fort Mac Murray, there has just come a time that I need to try new and hopefully better things.This company has certainly grown alot since i've been there.  They treat their employees with high respect and salary and benefits are pretty top notch for PEI.
They have gone thru a couple of name changes, first they used to be Atlantic Turbines Inc, then changed to Vector Aerospace.

With the organisation since CHC. When they located to this  location,  management was so so. It gone through massive expansion with change of  management without regards to overhead /sales and that resulted in massive retrenchment and change of owners. It didn't see results as "old guards" were not there and it change hands again. This is 4th owner since 1995 first moved to this Richmond location. Long time employees could foresee changes coming

Management helpful at all times
Great co workers 
Hardest part to keep build schedule and maintain safety and quality on builds
Most enjoyable part seeing completion of powerplant build  and satisfaction of customer approval

Management asked for productivity, wanted my opinion regarding what was in my responsibility. I was there because of my background, skills, and experience. I used this to best the situation of the company.
I enjoyed working with the management and employees.

Machining airplane parts to the correct specs to overhaul a engine to put it back in the fleet
much to learn and great experience with tight tolerances on machining work
co workers were very helpful in helping you in any way they could
everything was enjoyable to me in the job

I enjoyed working at Vector  Aerospace. My fellow employees were excellent to work with. Very supportive and informative. Travelled extensively to many countries and met numerous employees there

Fun work place with supportive management. Decent overtime work to learn more about industry and helicopters. Very experience co-workers with friendly attitude towards new comers and learned about aviation systems.

The overall job and location was quite sketchy. I did not like the management at this location in Toronto. The advertising information about this job was inaccurate.
