Fast paced environment
Flight Checker (Current Employee), South San Francisco, CA – May 14, 2013
Pros: free lunch
Cons: short breaks can occur because of short flight time that comes in during your break.
A typical day at work is running on airline time. We're working at a fast paced environment that includes too much of hard labor. It's not rocket science but they sure go hard on all of us employee, I'm seeking for a better opportunity that will fill my goals.

Friendly staff
Aircraft Supply Loader (Current Employee), Memphis, TN – May 8, 2013
Working at Gate Gourmet is an enjoyable experience. All of my co- workers are hard workers and the management staff is nice as well. The hardest part of the job would be the elements; although I am use to working outdoors, it does get quite cold in Memphis during the winter.

this job is for foreigners
Flight checker (Former Employee), san francisco – May 3, 2013
Pros: lunch is free but its not all that....
Cons: low pay and no respect
The job that you are doing is not worth the salary. ITs hard to work here. Management wants you to be perfect and fast worker. Then they will pay you like you are a slave.....

I hope that United and Continental airlines would not get the contract from them. They don't even wash or wipe down there carts. They are filthy.

Managers and supervisors are – more... just walking around and acting like they know what they are doing.

United/continental needs to go down in the SFO plant in a surprise visit.... you should see the managers running around like in a panic mode..... There are a lot of things that are unsatisfactory.... – less

High volume, fast paced, production warehouse atmosphere.
New Hire Support Specialist- Human Resources (Current Employee), Atlanta, GA – May 3, 2013
Pros: free lunches
Cons: expensive benefits, no bonuses or promotions.
The shifts run 24 hours around the clock (based on the daily Delta flight schedules). At any given time there can be a sudden change in flight status or equipment. Very detail oriented atmosphere. I learned how to effectively communicate with several hundred different cultures. The co workers are very couragous and bold and love to pro - actively dominate – more... and own their assigned projects (i.e. FMLA, PAFs, Taleo & Ulti Pro Recruiting. The Management is very supportive and motivational. The hardest part of my job and have dual roles of an administrative clerk and a physical on site Public Relations Specialist. The most enjoyable part of my job is to be informative to those lacking information relevant to any urgent problem they may have. – less

Typical work week on the airfield
Delivery Driver/Dispatcher (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – April 23, 2013
Pros: alot of down time
Cons: pay and benefits
My typical work day included catering aircrafts. The main thing I learned at Gate Gourmet was how to manage my time. Management didn't care to know what was going on when it came to their workers. My co-workers are dysfunctional...I'll just leave it at that. The hardest park of the job is dealing with the weather.

Extreme Liabilities
Sou Chef (Former Employee), Inwood, NY – April 20, 2013
Cons: no weekends, no holidays, & management has to wait 3 months to get any pay for extra work days, . ys. every other week there calling you in on the sixth day ... my god !!
Every day was stressful ! Most of Gate Gourmet hourly employees are just collecting a check. All of the cooks are sloppy without any real discipline. Every two days someone would call out sick. Every day some food item would be missing from an airline. So much work with little labor to complete the work ... A total nightmare !!! So glad I was let go – more... !!! Never again !!! No more airline catering for me !!!! I bet there all the same . – less

Worst job in 29 years! Horrible experience ! Save yourself the trauma !
Executive (Current Employee), Reston Va – April 16, 2013
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
Horrible. Bad management from the top down. Nothing gets accomplished because no one wants to take responsibility for anything or make a decision or they do not want you to succeed. Everyone blames everyone else for the company failing. They are losing customers left and right.
Super long hours with no reward- no they haven't paid a bonus to most people – more... in more than five years but reward the few cronies.
Disrespectful and demeaning to most people. Beware! – less

Gate Gourmet (worse job ever)
dishwasher (Current Employee), New Jersey – March 15, 2013
Pros: 1 break for 30 min and lunch break for 30 min and free food
Cons: below pay rate, no advancements, too many overtimes, no set schedules
I'm currently working for this company, I chosen this job because ,as we all know its hard to find one. Im grateful i have this job but, this company really blows. The people there barely speak any english, most of them are foreigners. The management is very sloppy, plus this job under pays people. Your job can be dishwasher but have you doing porter – more... work (janitor). My problem is pay rate and schedule assigning. The only time I enjoy my job is Monday and Tuesday when the manager is not there, things get done alot faster. They've fired one guy because he took two days off for the weekend, which he has a reason too, they worked him 3 weeks with no days off and fired him for calling out. So this company will work you to death, nobody barely speaks english and basically getting rid of every black, white, Asian American person there is so they can hire their own people to work and slave them for minimum wage. This company stay away from it. I regret working here!!!! – less

DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY
Transportation Manager (Former Employee), San Diego – February 26, 2013
Cons: lots and lots
Worst company ever. They DO NOT respect the employee or their families even though they "promote" a work/life balance. Don't believe it. Unit management is terrible, they smile to your face then stick the knife in your back.

Dysfunctional HR department, unpleasant upper management
Analyst (Former Employee), Reston – February 7, 2013
Pros: nice work space
Cons: management/employee relations are stressed and unpleasant, you are considered a slacker if you work less than 60 hours a week.
Poorly run company that succeeds despite the dysfunctional upper management and HR department from hell.
