Pros
-The pay was decent, $24.50/hr, 3 hours a night for the relatively easy workload. -They offered as much cross training as one was interested in. I learned how to de-ice planes, drive forklifts, loaders, and tug tractors. -OT was easy to accrue assuming there were mechanical issues. -This job was the most fun I have ever had at work. -Airplane enthusiasts get to admire airplanes up close. -This job would offer insight about full time positions at the airport.
Cons
-Low hours. It was 3 (guaranteed) hours a night. Most employees worked up to 5 shifts. Only a handful of management positions were hired full time. -There is a time crunch to ensure planes are departing on time. -Ameriflight was contracted by UPS at the location I worked. Communication between the two was not the best. -The weather on the ramp swings to both the extremes. I worked shifts that were 110+ on the tarmac, and -14 with the windchill. -They do not offer financial incentives for their employees like boot vouchers, or protective hand gear. -It is a cargo job with some degree of risk involved due to the nature of moving heavy cargo cans. -Since it was part-time, there were no health benefits.
