It is a great place to work, great culture and people. Produces pretty good controllers who historically go onto other places and are successful in checking out (even at high lvls). It's just not a good career facility due to super high cost of living, significant others cant find jobs in career fields other than hospitals or hospitality, long commute, 3 hours from nearest large city, to go on vacation you have to drive 3 hours to denver first and fly from there, seasonal traffic is either super busy or super slow. It is a good training place, but with ncept its turning into a place with very little hope of moving up in the agency. We release only at best one person a year and with the majority wanting to leave thats a low chance per person to get out anytime soon. The competition to get out is so high that if you're not willing to put errs in for all the top places you're going to be staying here forever.
I mean we got 1 new trainee in the last 2 years... that's crazy. While we see other low level places get people from the acad, nest, hardship and continue to let people go every ncept then jump us in the numbers and again get new people. ASE is not alone and is not the worst ncept wise, but it's frustrating watching some places just turn and burn people out to great places while cpcs here are stuck and have very little chance of leaving in the next few years.
