Pros

*Some* of the people you work with are not just great people, they are good people too.

Cons

Everything else; working conditions are terrible (safety is NOT a priority), the way you are treated (you are treated worse by management/supervisors than by the most irate passengers). Many instances of not having an 11 hour gap between shifts. Managers either don’t care enough to do their job properly or don’t know how to do their job properly. A LOT of office politics. Not paid enough. You are thrown to cover airlines you haven’t been trained on. You get called to disciplinary meetings for being out sick even though you have provided a medical certificate (and you have no previous history of calling in sick). You are expected to break your back doing favours for them but they never even say as much as a thank you! There have been many instances where I wasn’t paid for days worked or overtime done. CHECK YOUR PAYSLIP CAREFULLY!!!

Pros

Learned a lot as an aircraft fueler, my manager at the time recognized my hard work and offered me a lead position. there was plenty of overtime and opportunities to explore different aspects of aircraft fueling. If I could I would definitely return to the company and get into management.

Cons

some employees I worked with made most of my shifts harder than they had to be. the job itself was easy and enjoyable for the time being even with call offs and no shows.

Pros

There is a sense of family culture at the airside level, and that was one of the few genuinely positive parts of the experience.

Cons

Unfortunately, the overall environment was overshadowed by micromanagement and a culture where communication often felt dishonest. There were situations where it seemed like management claimed conversations or warnings had happened when they had not, only to move quickly to write employees up. The lack of consistency and trust made the workplace frustrating and difficult to navigate. There also seemed to be high turnover, along with very little clear direction or path for growth. On top of that, some business practices came across as focused on avoiding providing proper benefits, which left a negative impression.
