Inclement weather-based company
RAMP AGENT/TRANSFER DRIVER (Former Employee), College Park, GA –
Pros: beautiful weahter, humane breaks
Cons: inclement weather, irregular operations
I enjoyed working for this company. It provided an excellent benefit package. Management was eccentric. My co-workers were very down-to-earth, easy-going individuals. The job conditions were based upon climate. The most enjoyable part of the day was the last hour of work.

Good Introductory to Aviation
Customer Service/ Ramp Agent (Former Employee), Houston, TX –
Pros: cross trained, so i was exposed to many different areas
Cons: cross trained, so it was hard to be perfect in every areas
I enjoyed working for this company. The company was smart, in my opinion, by cross training the employees. This insures that the company get the most for their money. Not only that with the shift swap policy the employees have little problem balancing work and life. On the down side I didn't see the company extending much concern for the employees when – more...  is came to their personal affairs when/ if it effected work. The employees where generally left to choose between work and home if any situation ever surfaced. Thankfully, the company did leave management to deal with any affairs in their station and that is were we revived a more human side of the company. – less

Well Kept
Customer Service (Former Employee), Atlanta –
Pros: free flights even to some exotic locations
Cons: micro managment
AirTran is a wonderful place to work. They have great benifits along with that you get flight benifits as well and they also extend this to your parents and children. If you are one that like to have a lot of time off you can have your cake here for you are allowed to swap off your shift as much as your want and you can also pick up as many shifts as – more...  you would like. – less

Pros: flight privileges and colleagues

Was my first experience working with an airline, was pretty overwhelming in the beginning but I learned a lot about city codes, details of the planes, and the level of responsibility each employee has that works the ramp and as a gate agent
