San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Reviews

Pros

I've had a great experience working for the airport. Management in our department is transparent and communicative. Good environment and lots of activities for employees: free yoga on Thursdays, hiking on Saturdays, walking, cycling, basketball... Good health insurance and benefits. Job stability and great work-life balance.

Cons

Salary is just ok, not as high as it would be in the private sector. The offices building is the old commuter terminal, so it wasn't really meant to be a work place. Lacks nice facilies, cafeteria and break rooms. Looking forward to the new building that will be coming in 2 or 3 years.

Advice to Management

Keep your open doors policy and keep showing appreciation for your employees work.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits and a decent working environment.

Cons

Hr once again went outside the organization to fill a vacancy despite there being a great in house candidate. This happens all over the organization. It seems that you have to be a “chosen one” to advance and that classification has nothing to do with ability or skill.

Advice to Management

Promote good people! Or at least set people up to succeed.

Pros

Interesting industry and opportunities for advancement

Cons

communication between executive level and administrative staff needs help

Pros

Good benefits, although slowly declining. Fairly easy work. Deadlines don't really mean anything as they always get pushed out (both pro and con).

Cons

Lack of consistent enforcement of policy across agency. Management does not practice good judgement but holds employees to high expectations.

Pros

Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Poor communication and planning.

Advice to Management

Improve communications between entire company and don't work in silos. It just causes things to fall through the cracks and unnecessary time is wasted.

Pros

Great work environment. I've learned a lot in the short time I've been here and been given plenty of responsibility. The staff is very understanding and flexible.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

Stable job, progressive employer, great location, future demand

Cons

Promotional opportunities not based on merit, qualifications, success.

Pros

If you're looking for a career where you can coast for years on end until you retire then this is the job for you. It's an airport ... too big to fail.

Cons

Lots of politics, employees hide things from manager, and managers hide things from the executive team. Each department is it's own little world, with it's own little king, and it's own little rules.

Advice to Management

Get a value assessment done on every department and for every team member, from the lowish paid person to the highest executive. Find out what real value the job and person is adding to the company, and eliminate waist.
