Pros

Nice building - but so what.

Cons

Upper management owns you. They act it. I've personally seen one even say it to another employee. The Boss said 'where you going to go? No one will hire you after this" The YES men get appreciated - the workers doing anything get overlooked or cursory 'pat on the back'. VERY long work hours. No such thing as "I'm on my days off" if you say that - they can you. They want what they want NOW no matter how trivial. Pay is decent - even high but does not make up for the fact you're working and living with a bunch of hardnosed new yorkers. Cost of living is high so $100k for many positions is not saying much. Retaliation is high if you complain. Their employee handbook is very intrusive but intentionally vague so they're never cornered. If you complain about anything you're on the list. If you complain about any boss about their abusive attitude - you're done. Companies are what they do, not what they say. Look at the bullies they promote. They love them! And they absolutely despise employees - any hint of Union and they go on a firing spree. I would recommend this job because they do pay well compared to others and is good to have on a resume. You will do more here than anywhere else. At other companies you may do less but be more relaxed. For new grads from school, come here get beat up then go on to American or United and relax for the rest of your carreer. Here you will be burnt out and they know it and dont care - they will just replace you.

Pros

I loved working for Atlas Air worldwide. Too many pros to count but I’ll try: Got to travel the world! Training was awesome! Met amazing people! Met amazing military members!! Got paid to do it!

Cons

Could not be the best fit for an older person or someone with a large family (although still doable with Luanda flight schedules)!

Pros

Not a lot of pros I could think of

Cons

It's a very chaotic place. The company likes to outsource services that employees need. They dont seem to care about the quality of services given as long as its the cheapest. In the years that I've been there, I've never gotten more than 2.5% annual raise. Mgmt will always have an excuse why you couldn't get the maximum 3%.
