    Terrible Industry

    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.

    Pros

    Get paid on time. They provide free lunch and dinner. lots of Chinese and Filipino work here. so don't worry about the language.

    Cons

    It is far from downtown and the commuting fee is very high. The salary is basically minimum wage. so you cant really make some money here. people come here for the insurance.

    Possibly the worst job ever and your beyond desperate

    Pros

    free lunches if you work day shift

    Cons

    Good luck getting paid. Turnover rate is horrendous. They say "open house w on the spot interviews? That's just figuratively cause once you get there they ask you nothing bout your past experience. You simply redo your application online. Bout 10 mim later your issued a hiring offer form. They tell you very little and then lie bout your schedule. Send you to airport for security clearance badging which is big process of which the company does not pay for your time nor for your parking fees like your told. Then you have airport safety training for 2 days of which they apparently don't pay for either cause 1 month later I'm still waiting to get paid. The payroll dept cannot be trusted to the point of not returning phone calls/emails. All this company does is lie. Whether it be pay,scheduling.It doesn't matter. you gotta be your own advocate in a place that could care less bout you. When walking in the place you might even consider the place a bit racist bit you be your own judge. Just Stay Away!!
