Amerijet International

Amerijet International as a whole is not a bad company. All other stations besides the MIA one enjoyed working at the company. If you were one of the poor souls in MIA then you were worked til your breaking point. The work environment is fast-paced and stressful as we were the only hazardous materials department comprised of about five to six people for the whole company with multitudes of stations spread internationally. We had to manage to inspect physical docs and cargo, receive or reject cargo, review all docs sent via email from all other stations, answer all hazardous materials inquiries from walk-in customers and from our other stations via phone calls and/or emails, overlook palletization of hazardous cargo, tag hazardous materials pallets, update and upload NOTOC information for other departments and pilots alike, perform warehouse inventory checks to see if there are any hidden hazardous materials, coordinate with consultants and customers to resolve packing discrepancies, and the list goes on and on. It was a toxic work environment that was produced by many factors including management. Management believes in micromanaging and making false promises. Management barely helped and was barely ever there. Need I say more? Could go on, but don't want to.

It was a pleasure to work with Amerijet International. I usually do not click with interviewers as they conduct interviews in a systematic matter. Amerijet's interview was a conversation where I connected with the corporate recruiter at the time and the head of the department for the interested role. After being with the company for years, the environment never changed even after growing at an exponential rate. People were always nice and the HR officers do care for their employees. It was a great experience. I definitely would work for them again.

Upper management has real control issues. “No” or “can’t be done” is not a welcome sentiment. They will bury you if they don’t like you. They’ll leave you out of communications (emails/conferences/phone calls, etc) then they’ll get on your case when something they talked about amongst themselves doesn’t get done. Upper management also expects perfection 100% of the time - surprising, considering the industry they’re in. You would think they, being in the aviation business, would understand how fluid things can be. Low pay, poor benefits, and no chance for promotion. They’ll find excuses and bully you out of a job.

I enjoyed working for Amerijet and learned a lot but I had to relocate because I was living in West Palm Beach and working in Hialeah graveyard shift so when I had to stay late i would miss my train... Wait for the next train for two hours go home wash up then hop right back on the train no sleep sometimes no eating because by the time i got home it was time to go back... I liked working the scale and learning how to load a truck by letting cargo slide in by tipping the forks...

Overall I like working on this company, It's a new learning experience every day. It's a company that likes to have their employees well informed of what is happening with the company and what  it's expected in a future. 
Like all jobs, it has good and bad days. Every station works different and somehow we get used to each other(Stations)

I worked as a Load control agent, then move to crew scheduling, pretty busy work environment and challenging with very complex situation on a daily basis, moving flight crews all over US, Caribbean, Central and South America. I used to set up hotels, catering, commercial tickets and at the same time keep the pilots times regulations accurate logs in order to comply with FAA regulations. 

Just another pilot job, but company thriving at the moment since they are cargo! 767 was fun airplane and challenging flying! Scheduling and temporary bases stink! Good place to get your initial heavy and international experience!

Good coworkers. However, Administration is horrendous and the lack of transparency is an ongoing struggle. The specific job itself isn't difficult. The issue is that they don't use basic travel software and the director is always providing contradicting information to the department. Way too high turnover rate and it's obvious to see why. 

Easy to adapt to, great culture, understanding management. If they were to really update the system and make it easier for the agents to process shipments the process would be easier on both the workers and the customers.
