Pros

Some nice staff. Some excellent and should be leads.

Cons

A lot of staff are leads that shouldn’t even be allowed to converse with a passenger let alone be a lead! These “leads” have no skills in leadership and check in is often messy and difficult. No organisation, very short staffed. Often doing jobs (board a flight) that you’re not trained in because they don’t have the staff. Often left alone to board a full flight. Multiple CAA violations. The supervisors say they are here to support you, but will chat behind your back! They fire brilliant staff as well, even after one mistake but will not fire awful staff as management play favourites. Pay is so bad. So low for what we actually do, we do so much more, more work than the supervisor, who sit on their phones at the desk all shift and they get paid much higher! Abused daily by entitled passengers. If making small minuscule mistakes, expect this to be blown up and make it a huge deal and embarrass you on the WhatsApp groups! Staff often bully you if you are of different faith or neurodiverse!

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.
