Gate Gourmet Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Super knowledgeable team to work with

Cons

Life work balance can be tough to maintain

Pros

food that's not great some people are nice

Cons

no training, unreasonable demands and expectations, very fast paced, drama, get ready to work 10- 12 hours work days, no work life balance, lots of distractions hard to get things done

Pros

Free lunch, and you're able to work overtime if you need to.

Cons

Poor work/life balance. Your job as a packer can only be complete at the rate of which the trucks that deliver the charter carts come in. Besides the 15-30 minute interval between delivery trucks, another impeding factor to cart 8-hour cart completion, is some trucks do not have the type of charter cart you need to pack for your next flight. You will likely be getting 1-2 hours of OT, just from waiting for these trucks.

Pros

Unfortunately any pros are out weighted by the cons. This is an unpleasant environment with high staff turnover.

Cons

This is an unpleasant environment with high staff turnover. Unfortunately this style of business is incredibly low margin. I believe this is why the business has adopted a burn and churn mentality. With limited career opportunities and very little work/life balance.

Pros

Nice and easy schedule. Helps balance work and life off weekends.

Cons

dont pay what you really are worth.

Pros

Work is easy after about 1 month\

Cons

There is no work life balance. Mandatory Overtime is literally mandatory They will not let you leave. No Holiday Pay (time and 1/2) till after your first year. No vacations till after your first year. 10 cent raise delivered in 2 terms during the first 6 months They lie in orientation there is no such thing as the 'manager working with your schedule'

Pros

Free lunch in cafeteria They will hire anyone

Cons

Very Unorganized Low pay Costly health benefits No support from senior leadership No work/life balance Site Leader only cares about himself and none of his staff.

Pros

Interesting insight into the airline support services industry. Low staffing levels mean boundless opportunities to take on challenging projects and "make your mark."

Cons

High workload with little work / life balance available. Employees who perform well are generally rewarded with more work and little else. Industry is under pressure to cut costs and become more efficient--you must be very entrepreneurial and willing to work independently to succeed.

Pros

This job is easy to get because it doesn’t require work experience. It’s for anyone who needs a job to pay the bills and find something to do. The duties of the job are easy to perform, and there are free meals and drinks provided.

Cons

There are expectations to work long hours from management. Long hours can be mentally draining especially during summer season and the holidays. Sometimes, management may not be patient many employees. Also, brand new employees may not need receive enough training to do the job. Declining to work overtime hours can be looked down upon by upper management. Thus, work life balance can be hard to obtain.

Pros

Work life balance from Corporate level is great.

Cons

Poor recruitment strategy for entry level positions, lack of accountability, lack of interest in process improvement, no employee recognition, hostile work environment, no work life balance for operations.
