Pros

Overtures made to improving processes and using data intelligently. There are some managers who genuinely believe new approaches and ideas are valued and work to design and implement them. These employees are good mentors and team members.

Cons

Unfortunately, those who constitute the pros above are few and the executive management discards their proactive advice as insubordination. I was surprised to find such limited corporate vision and adherence to an outmoded hierarchy with such pervasive secrecy and paranoia. Yes, this is a complex business, with tight margins and deadlines. All the more reason to foster and support effective teamwork instead of applying "The Mushroom Principle", (keep them in the dark and feed them fecal matter).

Pros

staedy job, salary on time,

Cons

supervisors are ignorent and does not work systematically , truck are rusty and ramp agent over burden , need to cater aircraft in 15 minutes , and run to the next gate, then refill and re load the truck again , 5 minute lunch break and then spend your lunch time building up soda tray and then load again in the truck , twice go to trash to clean the truck and after 8 or 10 hrs again refill and re load the truck with supplies for next driver . no holiday no sick leave ,and supervisor is always looking to and threatning to fire you , more like master and slave type of mentality .
