Business Outlook

Pros

Fast-paced environment (never bored). Job security. Advancement from within. Challenging, rewarding work. Good, committed people. Pride in knowing that you work for a fortune 50 company, and help play an essential part in daily world commerce. Non-traditional work environment (ie no cubicle).

Cons

Very demanding work, physically and mentally. 24 hour operation equals lots of long days and nights (avg workday at least 12 hours). No guarantee of advancement through the years (limited openings). Decent salary, but when I do the math to find out hourly rate, I cringe. Vacations are not very flexible. Holiday peak season-you might as well just live at the office for the month of December.

Pros

They pay well above minimum wage and the benefits are good(even though you only receive them after a year of employment).

Cons

When me and 3 other coworkers were hired we were told about pay being 9.50 from day one, benefits starting by the 3rd month, and raises every August and February. They did NOT tell us that policies had changed, so instead we started at 8.50, had to wait 3 months to get pay bumped up to 9.50, didn't get benefits until after a year, and no raises(other than after the 3 month probation period) during the 1st year. I worked at the airport hub which required waking up at 4 in the morning (excruciating!). The company decided to cut corners and bring in less planes, so hours were cut to a mere hour and 45 minutes a day!
