Pros

Free food provided: breakfast(cereal, oatmeal), Lunch, Dinner Do not apply! Only as a last resort! You have been warned! Company has a 50% turn over rate

Cons

-HR tells you that you dont need gloves. Go to the 99 cent store and buy warm gloves. Your fingers will become numb in the freezer as your cutting grapes. -Massive call offs & No call no shows.. People stop coming to work and 1 person is forced to do the job of 4 people -Always OT, Mandatory OT you never get off at your scheduled time -EXTREMELY Unorganzied -No training, we were just put to work after orientation, and they expect us to know how to do it, and get upset when it's not done correctly -Management treats you poorly -When you ask for an extra body to help you, the only thing a supervisor will tell you is HURRY UP! -Employees dont carry their weight, so they move them and make you do their work and yours. -If you work overnight on a Saturday you are paid from-8pm-12am, the remaining hours are placed on your next check. If you worked OT, it turns into regular time because you didnt work 40 hours that week. -You cant bring outside food in. You are forced to eat the food, and sometimes it's not all that great. -They dont give you the tools that you need to do your job, then they expect you to work 11 hours due to their inadequacies None of this is explained in training!

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 .
