Pros

Nothing really, the lads are a sound bunch, but a lot of them leave which is sad to see

Cons

Poor Management, rosters are a disgrace, they cannot organize a proper roster. No weekends off, they don't care. Hard labour in a small confined space in the plane stacking bags, it takes a toll on your back and puts your health on the line for 11.55euro an hour. If you're sick, you dont get paid. Working hours could start from 1am to 9am, you get a roster every week, so you cannot plan in advance. Overall worst company to work for, sick of the management. Here, more than 4 years. No premium pay on Saturday or Sunday… Other jobs you get premium for Sunday definitely but not swissport.. You will regret joining, DO NOT JOIN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Pros

Learned a lot as an aircraft fueler, my manager at the time recognized my hard work and offered me a lead position. there was plenty of overtime and opportunities to explore different aspects of aircraft fueling. If I could I would definitely return to the company and get into management.

Cons

some employees I worked with made most of my shifts harder than they had to be. the job itself was easy and enjoyable for the time being even with call offs and no shows.

Pros

There is a sense of family culture at the airside level, and that was one of the few genuinely positive parts of the experience.

Cons

Unfortunately, the overall environment was overshadowed by micromanagement and a culture where communication often felt dishonest. There were situations where it seemed like management claimed conversations or warnings had happened when they had not, only to move quickly to write employees up. The lack of consistency and trust made the workplace frustrating and difficult to navigate. There also seemed to be high turnover, along with very little clear direction or path for growth. On top of that, some business practices came across as focused on avoiding providing proper benefits, which left a negative impression.
