Passenger Service Agent (Former Employee), Manchester, ENG – February 16, 2013
Pros: racist manager
Cons: no equal rights at work
Anybody thinking to work for the this company should think twice. This company will never look after you they will make you work work 24hours and expect you to be fresh. They don't appreciate your hard work when they don't need they will kick you out like a dog. I have seen lot of things while working their. Few management are racist and think they – more... are always wright. If you are Asian then don't even try to work their. As you will not get fair trial at work.
I hope it helps people who is looking to work for this company. – less

frieght handler (Former Employee), Charlotte,NC – December 21, 2012
Pros: worked with my schedule
Cons: enviroment
This was a very great job to have because it was only a four four job and then you could go on with your day. Which was good for me because at the time I was a college student and that gave me a lot of time to go study and go to class when I needed to.

Passenger Service Agent (Current Employee), Jamaica, NY – August 26, 2012
Pros: hands-on experience, sequrity, meeting the passengers.
Cons: shifts were a bit to far apart.
A typical day of work would be many passengers to be checked in. Learned how to check-in passengers. Management was on point. Co-workers were very friendly, made me feel in the group. Getting there was the hardest part due to where I live. The most enjoyable part was the learning and then the hands-on experience. Honestly i would stay and continue this – more... great job, but its to expensive for me to continue. – less

Ramp Associate (Former Employee), Rockford, IL – April 12, 2012
Pros: short hours, excellent co-workers
Cons: no pay raises, no chance for advancement, bad management.
I would come into work late at night since this was a night job. All of the employees there got along very well for the most part, and the majority of us were very good friends. We were very productive and would go about our daily activities such as loading the airplanes and cargo trucks. Management on the other hand was very bad on multiple levels – more... since they did very little to resolve conflicts. One of the hardest parts of the job was keeping planes and trucks on time. But this was also one of my most enjoyable jobs because of my co-workers. – less
Passenger Service Agent (Current Employee), NY, NY – April 9, 2012
Sitting all day and doing nothing while getting paid is good but feels like your wasting time. Meeting different people and getting into different situations, and solving problems. Hardest part is not to fall asleep while you sitting there on a light flight days. It's fun to watch people, meet different cultures and traditions.
