Is piedmont a good place to start out at?

Howdy fellas, I've got my Airframe rating and fixing to start applying for jobs once I get my powerplant. Was wanting to know anybody got any experience at piedmont? Ik they start out at 28.40 from when they came to my school and did a presentation for us. Is it a good place to start out? I'd be doing hangar maintenance for em im not picky about where I go except NY, fuck that place lol. Reason also I'm heavy leaning towards them is so I can branch off into American and start my dream of owing my own place, is that feasible with American? Has there pay/benefits gotten better? They did that presentation back in August of 2023 for reference. Just want to make sure I'd be in a good work environment and could make a career through these folks.
