Pros

-Lunches if you work the day shift. -Relaxed atmosphere, dress code. -Monthly company events (if you’re not working). -Everyone is very friendly.

Cons

-The pay is low and there is no shift differential pay since the schedules come out monthly and are advertised as “rotating”. I started work at a different time every day, and ended at a different time, the scheduling process was extremely erratic and unorganized. -PTO doesn’t apply to the hourly employees. This is a little misleading during the hiring process, and is advertised as a perk that doesn’t exist. -This company highly advertises the cutting edge technology of the app and web based applications. The reality is that as an operations specialist, you’re going to spend 99% of your time on the phone. You’ll be calling trying (sometimes pleading) to get drivers to take jobs, you’ll be talking to and calling pissed off customers, taking orders via phone, etc. It’s basically a customer service/call center. If you think you’re going to be doing everything on the computer, this couldn’t be further from the truth. And you will be evaluated on your “phone metrics”, how many calls you answered, how fast, what was your available time, etc. -The evaluation system for employees is terrible. You can expect a manager to email you an excel document where you grade yourself on how you’re doing, and then receive a 5 or 10 minute conversation with your manager where they say a couple of pros/cons of what you’re doing. It feels very rehearsed, and not genuine. -Be prepared to call in to meetings or attend training no matter when you work, or what your days off are. -Be prepared to work all weekends, and consider yourself lucky if you have two days off back to back with no mandatory training or meetings you have to call in for.

Pros

Free snacks. Company gatherings.

Cons

They are very controlling there. Everything is micro managed. You only get two 10 minute breaks. They do reviews based on phone metrics. Very very very strict with phones and slack. Mist be available to be pn phones at ALL times. Anytime you leave your desk you have to write in a group chat that you are going to the bathroom, lunch etc. The training is AWFUL. They won't tell you there's a final test and you need an 80 to pass or they will fire you right then and there. Trainer was terrible. He's on a power trip. If he don't like you he will try and scare you into quitting. He gets mad and looks down on you if you don't understand what he's teaching. Very hard to learn off somebody like that. It makes the training experience very hard, overwhelming and uncomfortable. No job security. Will fire you at anytime. Tell you one thing and do another. If they don't like you, you won't make it. They favorite employees. I wouldn't trust this company or anybody there.

Pros

Interesting tech and industry. I learned a lot about logistics and operations, which I can apply to other problem spaces/industries. There are some very talented people throughout the org. It was great working with and learning from them. Overall not the worst place to work, but it's not the potential/growth opportunity that it's pitched as.

Cons

The company lacks vision. Priorities and goals change every quarter, and the leadership can't decide what they want Airspace to be. This makes work harder and less inspiring. Also, the culture is very odd - it hasn't matured out of its bro-y, "LFG" vibes. The company is shockingly siloed for it's size, and it's difficult to accomplish anything that requires a cross-functional team or decision. I experienced a lot of offers for help and collaboration in public settings/leadership meetings that never materialized. Overall, these aren't unsolvable dynamics, but I never got the sense that these were even on the radar of the leadership team.
