DFW International Airport Reviews

Pros

Very Customer Experience focused. Very Employee Engagement focused. Benefits are great and start on the first day as a Board Employee. New hire orientation is just right - big picture and how you contribute.

Cons

If you need to replace your badge - it costs a large chunk of money. Parking can be a challenge, but they do provide a bus to take you from the terminal to the employee parking lot.

Advice to Management

Keep engaging the employees and set expectations in the actual position right up front. Training by co-workers can be less than you are expecting, so a level up might be a better choice for the on-the-job training.

Pros

99% of your co workers are good people. The other 1% are the snitches n suck ups who get promoted.

Cons

If you were in the military stay away. There's way better choices than this dumpster fire. There is no chance to be promoted unless you are a chosen one favorite who sucks up. All the train staff does is show you YouTube clips n power points. Despite the two HR ladies who were trying to stay away from saying they were HR, this in the words of the State labor board "most unethical and corrupt company in Texas" . The...

Advice to Management

Well the new manager and AVP seem like they are just collecting a nice paycheck. Let the assistant managers run things that's what got the last 4 people in your position fired.

Pros

Lots of work, busy place. Many of the younger crowd have issues with hard work. I love mentoring those that want it

Cons

New retirement package allows for portability. New employees check out after few years with the only loyalty to the resume. Also many believe 2 years is the total time needed to have all the knowledge needed.

Advice to Management

Look at the retirement. Keep up the employee engagement efforts. I know as a long time employee I appreciate it.

Pros

Excellent benefits package. Really nice employee wellness center.

Cons

Ridiculously bad management. Treated like a slave in the 1800s. Low yearly raise. Many depressed and/or angry fellow workers. Expected to go above and beyond for low yearly compensation. Retirement is package is not as good as many similar organizations. Highly difficult to promote. Severe inequality between management and lower level employees. Since leaving I have never had such a weight lifted off me. ...

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees, be a mentor, not a narcissist.

Pros

Professional environment. Great benefits. Great people to work with.

Cons

Hard to move up the corporate ladder.

Pros

Large airport with many job functions to keep one busy. Many training opportunities, as well as opportunities to learn new skills and standard operating procedures. Nice equipment that is well maintained.

Cons

As much as the Airport tries to engage employees it is counterproductive with the treatment of employees. This poor treatment creates many employeess with negative attitude. Also the few that promote are quite often the worse choice which further degrades attitudes. Mandatory rotating shift is exhausting and difficult to have any quality of personal life, bidding would at least be more of a stable option in which defined...

Pros

Great fellow workers to enjoy, very knowledgeable and good sense of humor.

Cons

Treated like crap from management, DFW likes to woo readers and employees with their trivial effort such as a constant barrage of surveys for employeees, which never help the work environment like they claim. People in my department are quitting all the time, a long tenured employee consist of 2 years. Management is horrible, employees are simply numbers and have little to no value. Retirement is not that good when...

Pros

Better than average starting pay. Good vacation benefits.

Cons

I retired from the Airport Security Division in August 2016 with some of the worst supervisors and managers I ever saw in my 45 years of working. Even now the most current reviews reflect the same conclusions, am I the only one that can see that. Take the time to read back through the reviews and open your eyes. Nothing has changed, the firing of bad mangers and supervisors only to hire people just like them. ...

Advice to Management

After this many years of problems in ASD it just needs to be redesigned from the ground up or turn all the responsibilities back over to the police like it was years ago before the division was formed. If senior executives don’t wake up and recognize the problem it’s will be pervasive throughout the airport, if it’s not already.
