Air Canada Reviews in Toronto, ON Area

Pros

I work as a flight attendant. I dislike the company, but enjoy the work. It allows you to travel, it's never the same (flexible hours, location), it's as far as anything can be from office work. It even allows to have a second carreer on the side (I work as a journalist). When compared to other low-cost carriers, the working conditions and benefits (the work is unionized are excellent, although it's important to point out that they are fast eroding.

Cons

The company is very big. Employees are just numbers, seen as expendable. Management is incompetent. The aviation industry is very unstable, and often gives the impression it could collapse at any moment, and the job could disapear.

Advice to Senior Management

Talk to employees on the ground, understand that satisfied employees offer better service.

Pros

cheap flights, a good work out lifting bags, seeing celebrities

Cons

management , is not very worker friendly!
we have a thing where, instead of hiring full time managers , we upgrade workers to be managers for 90 days, then they renew them , after they come back down for a day. these managers are basically trying to impress the guys upstairs and will give letters to show that they are doing something, it's become almost impossible to get things done. they won't the flights out on time, but are nit picking about little things.
we also have a thing called forced overtime(it's supposed to be used wheneveer there is bad weather, management uses it almost every time it rains. if you don't stay , you get a step one letter.

Advice to Senior Management
