Pros

Interesting insight into the airline industry. Most senior staff do not have a degree which means there is opportunity for advancement. Fast changing environment and adaptability for learning in a new industry

Cons

They only promote their own. Good ol boy network. I have never seen an intelligent person stay there for long. I witness a pregnant woman denied break because she was a minority. Run if you can. Salary is not compettive

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of opportunities to contribute to the company and to gain a great understanding of the complexity of the airline catering industry. Employees are, for the most part, a good group of people. If you are willing to work and want to learn, there are opportunities, but, advancement is limited.

Cons

Very difficult industry with tough profit margins, This is reflected in the salaries. The environment is one of pointing fingers rather than true collaboration and working through issues (though it appears they want to change) . Lots of moving parts and sometimes very hard to see the big picture as it seems to shift.
