A good place to work. Can be good for those who need flexibility and travel benefits.

Ramp agent - ready reserve

Pros

Very Good Standby Flight benefits for Delta routes. Domestic travel is free to fly and international travel cost is only the taxes of that airport. Exp: ATL- SDQ Santo Domingo is $94 round trip. ATL-STI Santiago is $54 though they are both Dominican Republic Lots of flexibility to give away or pick up work shifts. By giving away my work days to others, I negotiate with other coworkers to get days off or work more hours. This may only be true of ready reserve

Cons

It is very hard to be hired for bigger things and you will stay part time for a few years. The job is kind of simple and doesn’t require much education.

Pros

Travel, meeting new people, some of the best pay for this job, schedules that are set up the month prior with options to switch to other trips, the culture is pretty neat, there is a lot of pride.

Cons

Not as flexible as folks would have you believe. The flexibility is really moreso for folks with seniority of people that already have friends that know how to work the system. Speaking of the system, it's a little difficult for people that don't have an aviation background. Understanding the rules for flying and pay takes forever, they don't really mention anything about it until the very last day of training. It was a very hectic job, but that isn't the fault of the company. it is just the nature of the job
