United Airlines FAQ

Pros

As a single (not-married) student, working as a ramp agent with United is not that bad at all. It is a decent job that makes decent money depending on how long you have been with the company. Being young and having full benefits with a stable company puts my mind at ease. With a flexible* schedule as well as holiday pay and paid vacation time is also a plus.

Cons

There are good and bad people here, but it really depends on your place of work. I cannot complain completely about the full workforce, but there are some bad apples that can cause trouble to you as well. In my pros, I stated "flexible*" with an asterisk as it is flexible if you have been with the company for more than 5-8 years. Anything under five years and you get some what bottom of the barrel choices that could conflict with your life schedule.

Pros

Good benefits package nice co workers

Cons

Shift, long training and crazy hours

Advice to Management
