Pros

Good pay Unionized Overtime Independent Work If you’re young and want to invest in a good career, this is the best place to start. Management was accommodating, professional and helpful. I learned so much in my time there. Nearly unlimited overtime available and opportunities to advance.

Cons

Unpaid time off Lazy coworkers Needed some time off but couldn’t cover living costs without some type of income. Coworkers only there to clock in then clock out. Very few actually stuck around to help fuel late flights. It was always a struggle to get a decent fuel truck due to the cliques. People would hide keys for their buddies who are running late. Couple of my coworkers were under the influence or drunk on the job. Very disappointing.

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.
