Administrative Assistant/ HR Coordinator (Current Employee) - Dulles, VA - March 3, 2020
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedThe work can be fun, however I often felt like I was babysitting the employees. That was only when I, in my HR capacity, was even included on any event. It has been made clear that HR isn't always welcome in any discussion or in any of the operations. There is a very large learning curve with this position.

Never apply
Passenger Service Agent (Former Employee) - Tennessee - January 21, 2022
This is the worst company I ever worked for. Dnata in Tennessee is a joke! First of all you don’t get any flight benefits. There is low pay and little hours to earn. Management is very unorganized and only care about themselves. You won’t get paid. Dnata don’t give employees there bonuses that they are promised. Absolutely horrible company to work for. Dnata in TN is operating for British airways and the training is very rushed and unethical. You are trained last minute and management themselves don’t even know how to work the operation!

Terrible
Cabin Cleaner (Former Employee) - Dulles, VA - October 6, 2021
Honestly this is the worst company to work in I swear! They don’t care about anything not even you, only money!! “Oh you had a work accident I’m sorry but it’s your fault so your paying out of your pocket not the company” Even worked hours are missing they don’t pay you completely they cut your hours, PTO doesn’t exist to them it’s a illusion they act stupid when it comes to paying your hours even if you submit it in front of the face. Overall don’t apply here I wouldn’t recommend this awful company with poor management, lack of experience lack of everything just greedy for money
Pros
N/a
Cons
Everything

Not very hard of work but people made it bad.
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Wichita, KS - October 5, 2021
The work that was done at the facility was not hard. The supervisors is what made it bad, felt like they didn't know what they were doing. If they got new sups maybe it'll be a better place to work.

Unorganized and not prepared
Passenger Service Agent (Former Employee) - Orlando, FL - August 3, 2021
Great place to work at if bi-lingual. False advertisement and pushes you do stuff that is not apart of your job. Management is all over the place and not prepared for much.
Pros
Maybe the incentive
Cons
Terrible management

Wages were not correct
CDL Class A Driver (Former Employee) - Grand Rapids, MI - July 22, 2021
Wages for their sister company Metro Air Service were 4.78 lower than what I was told. Hours were terribly inconsistent and you couldn't plan anything. I was on call six days a week. I was lucky to get three hours a night if any. 75.00 a day isn't worth risking a great full time job.
Pros
None
Cons
Wages incorrect. Part time and they plan on you all the time.

physical demanding for low pay
Baggage Handler (Former Employee) - Jamaica, NY - July 17, 2021
as a baggage handler, your job is very physical demanding for a low pay. high turn over rate for this position. If they increase the pay and have more people to work it would be ok.

No
Ramp Agent/mechanic Helper, Dnata (Former Employee) - Ramp/warehouse - June 24, 2021
This company need to cater more to there employee...they need go around and see the strength and weakness and work one on one with each worker. I really learn more my second time around as a GSE apprentice .lots of very important fact about equipment and the operation. Two man team ...this promotes for hands on and focus training.
Pros
40 plus hrs week
Cons
No team work

Chaos, Horrible management, Safety violations
Ramp Agent (Current Employee) - Philadelphia, PA - June 16, 2021
The pay isn't competitive. You have to earn all your paid time off so they don't give paid sick or holiday pay. You don't make extra on holidays. There's all these people standing around doing nothing or hiding in bathrooms or in the terminal while people who have a work ethic work. There's no accountability. You can get caught not working all day and not get fired. So for some it's easy money. But for people who like to work don't expect help and plan to wreck your body. Your back will never be the same. And watch your time every day cause they change it on you and take time you worked away The equipment is always breaking down. Steering wheels fall off while driving. We are supposed to wear seatbelts on tugs but they don't work. Maybe other stations are better but Philly is a mess. If they ever did a random drug test no one would be here except the foreign workers. Some employees are violent and there have been physical fights but management doesn't do anything.
Pros
Regular coworkers are cool but don't trust anyone from leads up, weekly pay, you can do nothing and get paid cause someone will do your job for you, easy money
Cons
Horrible management, pay, hours don't add up to time clock, Unsafe equipment, homophobic jokes and slurs, zero accountability, drug use, safety

Good People, Bad Infastructure
Ground Support Equipment Mechanic (Former Employee) - SFO - June 8, 2021
The company is good at making promises that they don’t keep. Everyday is a struggle and the higher-ups don’t want to fix the root of the problems. Instead they implement new policies and programs that only mask the problem. They put people in positions that they are unsuited for and then bash you for not completing a task fast enough. The work/life balance is atrocious.
Pros
Job Security
Cons
Work/Life Balance
