The other fuelers are great to work around. Cool people, who are dealing with the same stuff that you are. Management treats you like an irresponsible child. Communication is minimal, which results in issues that the fueler gets blamed for. Management does not have your interests or well-being in mind and will throw any fueler under the bus to save their image. Management crew are all related in some way, which makes growth near impossible. Last minute mandatory over-time if they need you to stay, but won’t let you stay for overtime last-minute if you need the extra cash. Any incidents are blamed on the fueler. Revolving door of new hires. Broken down equipment. No concern for fueler safety. Only need to pass pre-employment drug screening, after that, it’s free reign. They even have a manager dedicated to driving around and looking for something they can get you in trouble for. The plus side, the actual work is very easy. 

A typical day would be answering phones, filing, inputting inventory, creating new employee files, interviewing, faxing, scanning.  I have learned a lot while being here however I think the inventory portion is what I have learned the most.  I was never a numbers person, but now after doing this for the past 5 years I have grown to love numbers.  In my position I am part of the management staff and I supervise my office which includes myself & my clerk.  The hardest part of my job would definitely be the inventory portion as it could get a little crazy at times with such big numbers.  The most enjoyable part of my job is definitely the people I work with as well as I love what I do.

Typical day for me is doing daily preventive maintenance, fixing a down equipment on the trucks or carts making sure the fuel is rated for clarity.  Working at the airport making sure the work you’ve done is doing its job fueling the airplane accurately

Allied aviation is a solid company . There's mostly a lot of overtime , fairly easy to acquire day shift with a little seniority. Overall job is very easy and simple, despite working in the elements and some heavy lifting but the breaks in between each job assignment makes it doable. The company offers 401k ,health , life , and dental insurance which is a plus. Management is not too bad but it could be better. There is also very little job advancement. Pay is reasonable especially with overtime. The biggest downside to this is required overtime. Other than that this is a solid job with benefits , fair amount of overtime , a good amount of downtime (depending on work performance).

After working for this company I can tell you if you are looking for a flexible workplace in terms of shift hours this isn't for you there are optional shifts from as early as 430 am but it all depends on the shift bids.

This is a union job plenty of job security and benefits
equipment is outdated trucks do not have A/C barely even have heat for the winter so hopefully you are used to and enjoy all year seasons outdoor.

The most enjoyable part is almost completely working on your own and handling your assigned work. While the hardest part is the mandatory forced overtime should staffing be short which it more than not is

Fun to work if you aren't a complainer and don't mind being taken advantage of. A few questionable characters work there but nothing out of the ordinary. I had an iPod stolen once but I can't say it was somebody from my company. Don't expect to advance in the company. It is possible to get a good shift if you wait a while though. I got to see lots of cool stuff and pump ridiculous amounts of jet fuel onto wide body aircraft. Overall it was a good experience and I met some good people. I learned a lot about fuel distribution and handling while out there. I hope I can use it as a stepping stone to something better.

Allied Aviation does not care about your personal life, your family, or anything that doesnt have allied aviation in front of it. They dont tell you when your pay raise is near, or that you can or cant sign up to be in the union. This company is so lazy and laid back  you would think monkeys are running the place. The job is boring first and far most no matter what. The pay is horrible in all sense. Right now i am in utility and im only making 10.21 to start and 10.75 after 6 months. I deal with fuel... jet fuel and have a tank with fuel in it every day everyday i work. The equipment is terrible here  and the pay rate of all things comes from the biggest airline at whatever airport this company at.

Allied Aviation was my favorite company I had worked for and I regret leaving. having a union is a plus, it protects you from being run over by management. Fueling planes was something I had never done before, but my love for airplanes made the job satisfying. the hours were great and there was room for lots of overtime. The only downside I really had working here, and the main reason for leaving, was the lack of advancement. The cap out for a fueler is only $16 an hour after 9 years. You have little room for error and lots of ways to do it, and tons of responsibility.  Bob Rose the CEO is also a cheap guy, likes to underpay the peasants.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Away from traffic. Flexible schedule. One of a kind job .

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Must be able to be flexible when it comes to completing your assignments on or ahead of time. Must be able to work in all weather conditions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Older equipment, older facilities but experienced employees from top to bottom.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Flight schedules are governed by the weather but it’s not backbreaking manual labor. Easy to transition to from any driving position.

Fuel airplanes in a timely manner, drove 9,000 gallon tanker trucks reading meters constantly watching pressure gauges, dealt with hydrants. On the rougher side breathing Jet A fuel is extremely toxic, the company did not update our hazmat licenses to deal with Jet A which is how I found out one way the company could keep our pay at on $12.36 for three years all employees were on a wage freeze. The job was great but ran by people who did not particularly care for the employee's benefit. The most enjoyable part of the job was earning seniority for a better shift and having an opportunity to work overtime was a huge plus.
