Pros

if youre willing to tolerate being treated poorly you'll have a job

Cons

- the management all sleep with each other so imagine the drama, yes - they play favorites and if you dont pander to them they target you - they won't teach you how to do things unless they like you - theres no organized on the job training youre thrown to the wolves - they play with your check. it may or may not be right so keep track of your time on your own -a lot of the management come to work inebriated

Pros

- Great coworkers - My best piece of advice would be to make sure you make a great first impression. - Lots of downtime depending on area of work - Some flexibility when it comes to managing your hours* - Lots of interesting experiences - Upward mobility if you're willing to put in the work. This will also mean you have to play office politics unfortunately.

Cons

- Horrid training culture, does seem to be slightly improving in this regard. - Management comes across as very sleazy. You have to keep pestering them about anything you need otherwise nothing gets done. - Notice the asterisk I put on the flexibility point? Well, prepare to have your hours cut randomly depending on the needs of the airline you're working for. Also shifts will randomly change from morning to evening depending on airline lol. - Ridiculous uniform policies. You'll wear the same uniform for a year and one day they'll start cracking down on you for not wearing the exact shade of blue they want or something lol. If your role requires to go to any ramp area, they'll expect you to be wearing steel toe shoes. Its very half-assed enforcement and comes across as them trying to cover their own faults.

Pros

Diversity, decent benefits for management,

Cons

Upper management is so out of touch it's scary. Would not recommend it. But I suppose it just depends on who's at the helm. From equipment failures to facilities, day to day operations are affected when equipment isn't working. It lowers morale to see things in a constant state of repair or being forced to utilize broken equipment to get the job done. Just a run of the mill outfit ran by individuals that sit in a reverb room and expect results. Spend 40k a month on heating a warehouse in the middle of July but complain about profitability. This company spends so much on things that don't generate one ounce of profit but complain when situations happen that could be prevented if given the proper equipment. Its pig with makeup. ORD 2023 is no bueno.
