Pros
Free travel, if and when you can get it. If you can get on a plane, you have to make sure you're back. If not, you're fired. (Also, you won't make enough to go anywhere cool without plunging yourself into debt)
Cons
-They will not accommodate your religious services or fasting. It's not in the contract. -United Airlines largely treats UGE like a second-class citizens. They'll frequently remind you that you're not a "real employee" and cut in front of you for flights. -The management (including me) are cast-offs from United Airlines. Couldn't make it there? Head over to UGE! Who suffers? The front-line employee. -If you're in management, this is a great way to kill your career. You don't contribute to the bottom line and perform a service that United Airlines needs but doesn't want to do. Again, you'll be treated poorly. -I've never seen a company that just takes people with little to no formal education and puts them in leadership roles. Another example of gross mismanagement. When we had to look at ways to save money, my boss suggested printing on both sides of the paper. Really? -The contract is used flexibly to fire people. When Covid broke out, my manager would have us fire people to match staffing levels. Don't believe me? Ask some of the employees about it. -THIS IS NOT FLEXIBLE. The employees of UGE are under a contract. A labor contract is based on seniority and does not care about any of your life events. In all fairness, this isn't unique to UGE.
