I never worked there, but we chartered once when we diverted and subsequently AOG. It was less than stellar. After several phone calls and an email with their chief pilot, I came to the conclusion that this was likely a toxic and horrible place to work.

I once did a recovery flight for them in the IV, as one of their Xs had a pressurization issue departing out of SoFlo somewhere.

The dudes looked beat up, and kinda releived that they would have the day "off" to actually get some "rest" that day.

I casually asked them how things were working there, as a former student of mine (I thought) was working (but had already moved on) there. Both guys were very "non-commital", so to speak, in their responses. Neither gave any sort of enthusiastic "two thumbs up" kind of response.
