Pros

You can set your own pace here. This is good or bad depending on your work ethic. If you are a slacker you can slide by, if you are a work horse - you will be a key go to person. Some cool projects are always in the pipeline, but the turn around time and management of projects can be half hazard at best.

Cons

Many employees have been here a long time and aren't alway open to change or innovative solutions. Not a lot of proactive solutions are implemented.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest in your people, loosen the chains of hierarchy and make people implement the training and certifications received.

Pros

DFW Airport allows their employees a vast amount of career opportunies to try new career enhancing opportunities. The Airport also has a decent work-life balance style. The pay is decent. Recognition for women is improving.

Cons

DFW Airport is still very male dominated. The Board has conflict of interest issues that will be difficult to control. The Board does not always govern based on staff contribution. Too many times their deciions ae political and not corporate foucsed.

Advice to Senior Management

Make senior management women friendly. Also strive to add minorities at the senor management level and truly support them. Create a more balanced work environment for working mothers.

Pros

Health benefits are decent, pay is mediocre and the paid vacation time is generous.

Cons

Poor management skills, lack of fairness when trying to promote. Management lies to employee's and then wonders why people are not "engaged" and there is no trust. Come review time only the individuals who brown nose to management get good reviews and other good employee's are left out in the cold.

Advice to Senior Management

Been there for 3 years and always trying to find a corporation who knows how to treat employee's. If I had to do over I would had taken another offer by Southwest Airlines where employee's are treated humanely.

Pros

The pay and benefits are up to par and the pension plan is 100% employer sponsored with no contributions required. These two things would be one of the few reasons to enjoy working for an entity like DFW Airport.

Cons

Supervision as well as Management are horrible toward employees. The Human Resources department is an absolute joke and is not even close to being an advocate for the employees. In fact Since I have been there we have gone through 3 Vice Presidents of Human Resources and one was terminated for stealing money to pay for a personal wedding. I have not talked to one individual in a division of roughly 75 people that is happy and enjoys coming to work and it continues to get worse and morale sinks lower and lower. Also their are numerous people that constantly apply for internal jobs at DFW and in fact one individual is up to 29 job applications in 8 years and nobody can get an equal shot at internal advancement. They waste taxpayers money constantly and in my opinion it is time for a complete overhaul of the leaders that be.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop attacking employees, start promoting within, give recognition when due, and provide positive feedback to employees rather than things always being so negative and hostile. I would also clean house in Human Resources and get individuals that are advocates of the employee's and want to see DFW workers to succeed and have a harmonious working environment.
