Pros

There is no best reason to work here.

Cons

For starters management is respectful. The inbound building has bed bugs and they refuse to exterminate. Some of those bedbugs traveled home with me unfortunately and I wash all my clothes Such an inconvenience to me since I don't get paid much and washing my entire bedroom was not in my budget. Their is favoritism and people do what they want. No one says anything. Supervisors get away with everything. Not the job you want unless you want bedbugs.

Pros

Duty Free Shop, if I had the time to shop there!!

Cons

Disgracefully poor training, wishy washy attitude of management, harassment of junior staff, lack of available equipment (How can you be asked to do a job, when there is no equipment to carry out the task?), actually working for an agency and not being told as much (Seriously?!?!?! What a joke!!!!!!), intimidation tactics, huge clique culture, just an awful awful awful awful awful experience. I have been in gainful employment for 14 years, never been out of work, I turned up for work here on what turned out to be my last day (No prior warning, no communication, NOTHING!!), and was told after 1 hour on site my contract was terminated and I was to be escorted from the premises! The manager, then proceeded to tell me that I was agency staff and Swissport would not support me in any grievance process, and because I was agency, they could do what they like to me without any repercussions, and that, due to the fact that I was agency, had NO RIGHTS TO UNION SUPPORT!!!!!!! OH REALLY? WATCH THIS SPACE!!!! I am now in jeopardy of losing my home. This was my first foray into aviation, and I was extremely excited by the prospect of working for a global company, I wish I had checked out the company reviews now!!They were discourteous, unprofessional, lacking in any sort of integrity, showed a complete disregard for health and safety policy, and made up all sorts of fictitious tales regarding my conduct. Please bear in mind, I was only airside for TWO, yes that's right, TWO WEEKS!!!! In short, a complete and utter diabolically shameful and poor company! STAY WELL CLEAR!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
