Great culture and company, works hard but leadership needs work

Business operations manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Beautiful office, lunch catered everyday, pay is competitive with stock and bonus for people managers, team members are supportive of each other. Great perks like Friday remote during summer, learning and health and fitness stipends.

Cons

5 days a week required in person. Some teams feel like they’re doing two person jobs, things move quickly and sometimes the work people do can feel unappreciated because we’re moving so quickly and when one thing is done, we move on to the next, without much recognition into each others work besides the teams that work on key product initiatives that the public hears about.

Pros

You meet new people, that being said the managerial people that come in to “observe” absolutely SUCK. Leadership is HORRIFIC. A JOKE.

Cons

Leadership doesn’t care about understaffing, doesn’t care about our hours being cut, doesn’t care about KEEPING MEMBERS, what they do care about —— sales. Bunch of scammers trying to get us to scam old folk, young folk, anyone with a credit card to get this dingy service. At smaller airports it’s like being stuck in the trenches the way we have to merge in with precheck and general boarding lanes. We should have OUR OWN LANE. I shouldn’t have to be yelled at by people in precheck just for doing my job. We need our own officers. But let me ask my management for a break from being yelled at by the general public and I’m the problem :) a person can only take so much. It’s embarrassing how sellers are prioritized but the ACTUAL AMBASSADORS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR RETENTION OF THAT MEMBERSHIP ARE OVERLOOKED. SHAME ON MANAGEMENT. SHAME ON YALL FOR NOT GIVING YOUR AMBASSADORS BREAKS FROM THE CONSTANT CHAOS THAT IS PRECHECK C&C/TDC or STANDARD c&C/TDC. SHAME.
