Pros
- Great management; very flexible and work with you on a personal level.
- Pays higher than any other ramp job at airport.
- Great benefits like 401k, health insurance, vision insurance, flight benefits, tuition reimbursement, paid time off including vacation and sick days. These are available even as a part time worker.
- Set schedule. You always have the same days off and same start time. Many people are able to work part time with another job or school.
Cons
- The job is outside, and operations do not stop because of weather. You will have to work in freezing, snowy, rainy, smokey, and hot weather sometimes.
- It is physical; some people like it for exercise and to stay active, but others don’t. You can get injured if you aren’t careful and it can be tiring.
- Management is dependent on shift. So others might not have the same experience.
