Pros

Decent pay as far as airline/ramp work Immediate coworkers were awesome

Cons

Upper management/directors will scream at employees when they do something wrong. I’ve never witnessed anything like it. Upper management doesn’t care if you test positive for covid, they want you at work.

Northern Air Cargo Response

We appreciate the feedback. We take concerns of employee health and Covid protocols seriously including providing Company provided paid leave time for those testing positive or experiencing symptoms of Covid. Therefore, it would be unusual for us to require a Covid positive employee to report for work. We are also concerned that you witnessed management screaming at employees for doing something wrong. We have several avenues for employees to report concerns and have zero tolerance for an unrespectful workplace. Even though you are no longer with us, we invite you to reach out to the Human Resource department to share your specific concerns. You may reach us at speakup@nac.aero.

Pros

4-10's work schedule (sometimes), flight benefits, good medical insurance options, employer matched 401k, good place to get experience in the industry before so you can build your resume and work for a better company...if you still want to work in aviation when you're done.

Cons

The company wants to be a large company and compete with larger carriers, but it is not that. Wouldn't be a huge deal, but they treat employees like it's a huge airline and not a small, homegrown Alaskan company. End result is management is disconnected from the workers, nobody seems to care about getting to know employees because there's a sense that high turnover is to be expected. So you get no benefits of working for a small company (like close relationships with managers or a sense of being on a team) and you really don't get benefits of working for a huge company (small workforce so PTO puts everyone in a pinch, no breaks during a 10 hour shift, etc).
