Can't recommend working here
Ramp Agent/Baggage Handler (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 25, 2019
Hours are not always guaranteed and are dependent on the company maintaining a contract with the different airlines it serves, with the airlines having final say over whether or not to make use of Dnata's services. Often times the company will not have an employee's back in order to maintain a relationship with an airline if there are any problems, even if the airline managers were being unfair. Also, Dnata tries to avoid getting involved financially in an employee's medical issues, work-related or otherwise. Employees with long-standing relationships with management tend to receive better treatment than those without.
Pros
Work crews are generally laid back, pay is decent with full hours
Cons
Irregular hours, poor management
A promising company

Pros

Cons
no raises, bonuses at current time
Decent place
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – January 5, 2019
You should try this type of job! Would learn a lot of day to day skills. Specially go through any type of weather. Makes you mentally strong but i can say it is not for everyone.
Pros
Life skills, Never stop learning
Cons
bad hires, schedules vary
The future looks favorable for Dnata in the USA

Enduring all of the changes taking place
Decent job, managers can be a pain sometimes.

A typical day at work we get right away to work we have to two planes to load and unload packages. What I learned from this job is to keep hanging on. the hardest part of the job is that the
Worse company to work for.
Dispatcher (Former Employee) – San francisco – November 10, 2018
During my time for this company my experience was by far the worst. HR REPRESENTATIVE IS A JOKE! MANAGEMENT IS A FRUAD. Alot of good working people would get fired by management on false documentation (write ups) if you were not a suck up.
Pros
None
Cons
To any to list.
Great pay. Management needs work.
Cabin Cleaner (Current Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – November 7, 2018
This job is very fast-paced but the work is easy. A couple of the leads expect you to know how to complete a task after showing you how to do it once. There is a lack of professionalism among management and subordinates. There also tends to be a lot of back-biting and gossip.
I would just advise those interested in joining this company to focus on your job, avoid drama like the plague, and help your team complete tasks in a timely manner.

Productive and fun workplace
Ramp Loading Supervisor (Former Employee) – San Francisco, CA – October 2, 2018
Good and safe workplace, nice working outdoors, good people, management needs work and human resources cause paychecks are always short and other employees are not getting the rate they are promised.
Decent place to work. Frustrating management at times.
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) – JFK – September 13, 2018
Working at DNATA is fine. The company can be a bit disorganized at times but it works for them. The equipment can be old and broken so you must be extra careful when working.
Day to Day Living
Customer Service Agent (Current Employee) – Nashville, TN 37214 – September 11, 2018
I believe that working here is not really worth it if you are trying to maintain a healthy life style for yourself . Another job will be needed unless you have it like that.
I would never tell anyone to work there
Airline Passenger Assistant (Former Employee) – Austin, TX – September 8, 2018
My time working there they were very rude to me. They dont care about they're employers. And the management there is bad. They like to talk behind people's backs and its a bad work environment. I would never recommend this job to anyone. I feel sorry for all the workers that are still there.
Pros
None
Cons
Everything
Dnata is run like a circus, Very disorganized
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) – Jamaica, NY – August 24, 2018
When hired i was promised full time hours, never got them. Just got the run around.
The company doesn't properly train you, they expect you to know what to do on your first day. And you don't even get paid for the training either. People come and go at this place.
It's a joke of a company, poorly run. No communication at all.
Wouldn't recommend working for them. Unless you like wasting time and not making money.

Ramp Agent/Baggage Handler (Former Employee) – Queens, NY – August 4, 2018
Worst company ever I wouldn’t recommend this job to my worst enemy, don’t get me wrong the job title is cool but the company has no people to do the flights

Get in and get out
Ramp Agent/Baggage Handler (Former Employee) – Terminal 1 – August 2, 2018
Two words to summarize working at Dnata.. "RUN AWAY" The management is POOR.. The human resources have no clue what's going on in the airport. The payroll is CONSTANTLY messing up paychecks.. They just got direct deposit recently and even that is questionable. No real proper training in person.. Pretty much thrown out on the airport floor and expected to know what's going on.
Pros
Nothing.. RUN
Cons
No proper on the job training, biased, dispatch has no clue what they're doing
Its an ok place to work at

Pros
Ok pay
Cons
Only promote pickable staffs
