Pros
Working with the aircraft is interesting.
Cons
Toxic, immature and unprofessional culture on the ramp. Constant racism, misogyny and homophobic chat makes it an unwelcoming job if you're anything but a white male. Witnessing bullying from team leaders and even supervisors brag about how they steal food from the night shift made me completely uninterested in staying in this hostile environment. The 6 on 3 off shift pattern means you can't have a social life and to make it worse they give you inconsistent shift times,you could work 4 hours one day and 11 and half the next. The work is extremely mentally and physically demanding as you will probably find your self sleep deprived on the first earlies. Throwing 120 bags on your knees is painful so you need to fit to make it bearable. All this for worse than average pay for an entry role, no thanks.
