    Pros

    Dynamic work environment Experience in aviation sector Free/Cheap food at the cafeteria Generally good rapport with fellow workers Plenty of overtime

    Cons

    Very little room for advancement. Tough working hours, not uncommon to be asked to stay longer. Not uncommon to finish late (ca. 00:00) and start early (04:30)! Hostile work environment, pressure to load as many planes in a short amount of time Maximizing profits at the expense of safety Very bad standards of hygiene (Transporting and handling of waste together with new food which is to be loaded onto airplanes)

    Pros

    Pay Check; Free lunch( foods not good) Nothing Else

    Cons

    365 days a year; the planes must be met on time. Don't plan on anything else; this will be your life. Your family will hardly see you. Forgive management if they push you. They are under even more pressure and have even less personal time than you will.
