Planes is a great company to work for. I've been in this industry for 25 years, worked for a couple agents and feel strongly Planes is one of the best. I get more support here than I did at my last company, (the last few years there). This is not an easy industry, especially in the summer season, it can be very stressful. From the day I started at Planes I felt the support and help from management down to everyone of my Team members, in every department. Planes is a great TEAM!!
