A typical day at work would be arriving in the evening this was an overnight position. You would get to your company's area at the airport and begin to assemble your cleaning cart as in getting the different types of cleaners, brush's, rags and safety cards, vomit bags and a working vacuum and extension chord together for your crew and gloves. You would have a briefing before starting as to what to expect for that evening and how many planes you had for the over all night. Usually 25 planes split into sets of 5 for a 3 person team. You could take a 30 minute break between your first and second plane but you had to manage your time as you might not make the deadline as some planes had departure times really early. The hardest part of the job in my opinion was the amount of people per team. 3 people isn't a lot for the number of planes and assigned work for each person to do. If there were 4-5 people per team it would make it so much less stressful I think, but I'm sure budget reasons maybe keep that from happening. Some people would get there and work their first shift and wouldn't show up again which made it harder on the ones that did come. I could also sense a bit selfishness as when one person would finish their work instead of jumping in elsewhere they just sit down and didn't really seem to care to get the planes done any quicker then you could. My training supervisor and immediate overnight supervisor were awesome and looked out for you as long as you worked hard and were willing to help with anything they could. The only other downside to the job would be at times having to clean planes with no power or at least the cabin lights turned on for an amount of time until a tech showed up and powered up the plane. It wasn't too long but would slow you down at times. Another thing I was lucky to not have to deal with would be the weather it was overnight so being hot wasn't an issue but you sometimes did have a good distance to walk to some of the planes and I could just imagine it would be challenging while in the rain. with keeping your equipment dry and in good condition not to mention keeping your self dry. 

This company hires absolutely anyone! Management is alright but management usually rather fire someone than get in trouble themselves for not being able to provide their employees with the proper training. Other than that, management was really nice and understanding as long as you did what you were told and followed guidelines.

My co-workers were either extremely smart or just extremely ignorant. When ever they paired you up with a rude or ignorant co-worker you had no choice but to go ahead and get the job done. This company never fires their rudest employees who usually scream, curse, act inappropriate and even sometimes steal from the passengers.

There was no such thing as a hard thing to do in this job. I loved this job I just disliked the fact that it only had one benefit, which they took away, which was vacation. I was also told when I was hired that they would give me the weekends off after six months of working with them. I worked there for a year and a half and I was never granted the weekends off. I could fix my schedule for the week days but not the weekends.

The most enjoyable part of the job was the fact that you had a lot of free time between jobs and you could watch TV while you waited at your gate for your plane to get there or you could study as well if you went to school. Another good part was the variety of cultures, you could talk to the passengers and learn about different ways of lives around the world. If you were a security team member, you could also watch baseball, football and other types of major league sports live in person before conducting the team's security check while also getting paid for it.

Bottom line is: This is a good job if you live near it or if you're just looking for an entry level job to get some experience. Its also good for students who want to make a buck while not being so stress out from the job. Just don't expect any benefits.

It was my first job and it was alright at first.
Typical day is clock in, wait for dispatch to send you a location, pick up passenger, and drop off passenger. Not bad.
Occasionally I would be sent to different airlines to help with the luggage, it was hard but I got used to it.
Really my most concern about working at Huntleigh was management. 
He seemed cool at first until I found out what type of worker he is.
He likes to stay in the office and talk to other supervisor(His friends) and doesn't really come out to help workers.
The only time he comes out is when his boss stops by the airport or to go out to lunch.
Overall he is mostly in his office talking with his friends.
As for some of the supervisors, some of em know what their doing and some of them don't care.
Not gonna name any names but I found 2 supervisors sleeping in the airport.
A co-worker of mine took a photo of the sleeping supervisor and showed it to the manager but no consequences were given.
I will say though, I eventually got moved to night shift and all the supervisors and night shift manager were soo helpful.
I would always see them walking around, asking workers if they had their break or lunch yet.
They were the best.
I wish I could say the same for morning shift managers and supervisors.
Overall I had some fun working here.
Meeting new people everyday made me overcome my fear of talking to people. So I'll end this review on a good note and say I am glad that I got a chance to work here.
Hopefully things will improve in the future.

The most enjoyable part about my work place is that, you meet new people on a daily basis. You have conversations with all walks of life which not only inspire, but changes the perspective of how you view the world. The hardest part about my job is the communication and consideration of the employees. My experience has gave me an insight on how managers/management should not be done. The unorganized environment has set the tone that, “not everyone wants to do their job, they just want to have a job.” And I truly believe that whatever work environment an individual chooses to work in, should feel safe, respectful, accountable and supportive. I haven’t had that experience here at Huntleigh. Knowing you don’t have PTO or Insurance is very unhealthy to those who choose to accept the benefits or not. And knowing that this company doesn’t have that is disappointing. The workplace is very uncaring and one sided. Not everyone get the same treatment as other individuals. To me it’s one big mess. What I’ve been taught is always have and gain knowledge about everything you do and more. Not everyone is concerned about their education, and I’m an individual that see it otherwise. We all should care of what a job is teaching their employees, also to have positions where a individual can work towards receiving. Most work days are stressful do to the overwhelming passenger/guest that may need our help, and a management team who doesn’t seem to concerned about helping unless, if they’re the ones receiving the hurt behind them falling short of their own responsibility. 

Excuse any misspelling, punctuation errors.. 

Worked 2 days (Sunday and Monday) a week as a part-time employee for almost two years. As a part-time employee I received zero benefits. But I liked the people I worked with, the teamwork, team spirit and you get to meet a lot of people from different background.

On top of having zero benefits, I also do not get overtime pay and holiday pay (even when most public USA holiday falls on a Monday). 

As for the salary I get paid $8.95 per hour (the minimum wage for Colorado for 2019 is $11.10), so I'm being paid below the minimum wage. To add insult to injury any tip you make will need to be declared in order to make up the $2.15 difference in the salary and minimum wage. So hypothetically if you make more tip than your salary, then Huntleigh would cost them nothing in salary. Good for Huntleigh but bad for the employee who provide exceptional service to the customer.

At one time one of the full-time employee I worked with broke a number of rules (insubordination, leaving work premises without authorization during work hours, deliberate non-performance at work, late at work, and disregards to part-time employee specially me). Yet when I had a meeting together with the Manager, the said full-time employee, and myself. I feel I was the one that at fault because I brought it all out in the open. The full-time employee never got terminated and only given first verbal warning. So major favoritism by the Management.

Even as a part-time employee I do the best of my ability beyond the job descriptions compared the full-time employee.

Morale is very low and undignified when it comes to the work culture. Very seldom are positive reinforcements used in appreciation or to lift up employees, rather, management encourages Skycaps (wheel chair attendants) to spy on one another and then to report back to management any evidence of rule violations they may have discovered. Management also encourage us to use our own personal cell phones to take pictures of our coworkers who have been found out, and send them to management within our station, or even to HR (for the whole company). This, in my opinion, creates a hostile work environment and causes friction between coworkers  who hold the same positions as one another and puts them at odds. It is always more productive to engage in team work and to set good examples for one another. I believe this behavior poses as a factor in employees  being showed favoritism, opposed to those who are not, which is a whole other can of worms. I’ve never worked somewhere where I felt like my colleagues were encouraged to stab me in the back by the people who were meant to act as mentors and to be examples of having good and proper work ethics.  I also seems as though no one is ever evaluated for what the actual job is, which is to help people.  

Bradley Airport position is a decent job for people who need a little flexibility in their schedule.  Nights, days weekends are available.  Hours you are scheduled will be determined by need.  
You will be what used to be called a "skycap".  
You will be pushing passengers in wheelchairs through security and to their departing flight gate.
You will also be meeting passengers on incoming flights who need wheelchair assistance.
There will times when there are no passengers in need of assistance.  You will be waiting in the ticket area when this occurs.  
As an example, I have done 5 hours shifts here and have only been utilized 2 -5 times for assistance.  The rest of the time you sit and wait.  I mostly worked day shifts.  The max chairs I assisted on was about 6 -8.  
The average tip is $5.  I received up to $20 in my 6-month experience there. 
On average when you do the math you essentially will be making 19-25 dollars on average WITH tips.  Just keep in mind that not all passengers tip and your attitude and service many times will determine the tip.  
The manager of this operation is a fair and professional woman who will accommodate you when she can. Keep in mind though her operation is her number one concern.  She expects professionalism and will not tolerate immaturity or poor service toward the client. 
All in all, if you are looking for extra money and are not concerned about benefits or a career in this position, I highly recommend it. 

The best thing here was working at an International airport where you met some very interesting people coming in and out of Cleveland, OH.  The TSA agents were fantastic and so helpful as indirect co-workers.  For the most part, the passengers were nice and the frequent flyers mostly ingored anyone as the "fly all the time".  Inconsistencies with getting flight assignment pickups and curb transports due to favoritism and racism from dispatch personnel and boarding attendants.  They had their "favorites: and made sure they had runs as most runs included gratuities, so some made way more than others.    New tablets and tracking systems were used and made the job more efficient.  Fellow co-workers were lethargic to the point that they would not offer help or information if they were not getting tipped, which is a poor representation of a city to an out of town traveler.  Also, personal appearances and hygene were severely lacking, attendants looking and smelling like they slept under a bridge, or came straight from the 'hood to work, which if I were a passenger, I would ask for someone who took pride in their appearance.

A typical day of work starts with off loading luggage from busses that are dropping off passengers to go on a cruise ship. This takes place right outside of Alaska on the curb upstairs from about 8 am to 11:30 am. I manage a team of about 15 guys to off load these busses in a timely and efficient manner. From there, we go downstairs by door 00 to separate luggage from passengers going to different cruise lines. We then stack them on a cart, run them to a truck outside waiting in the south lot, and finally on the truck stacked properly where I then have drivers take them down to the piers in downtown Seattle to offload. 
   From this job, I learned it takes everyone to be on the same page to complete a task like this. As a supervisor, I ran into countless problems with employees either calling in last minute, showing up late for work, or just not putting in any effort to work that day. For those of us that were good to go, we had to compensate and pick up the slack for those who fell into that category. That was definitely the hardest part of the job, but not everyday was like this. When everyone showed up and we all worked hard, things ran smooth like they were suppose to. That was the most enjoyable part of the job.

everyone morning when i clocked in i would look at the daily scheduled flights and find what i had to do for the day. in between free times i could ask to do more out bound wheelchairs as long as i managed to show up on time for what i was scheduled for the day. i learned to manage my time properly and better communicate with passengers who spoke no english. the hardest part about my job was during security jobs i would have a few minutes of actual work while the cabin cleaners cleaned the airplane, then i would have to stand outside waiting around for over 2 hours doing nothing. Im much happier doing jobs were im constantly moving. my favorite part about the job was that fact that i was part of the night crew who would have to stick around 2 or 3 extra hours for the last flight. During those 3 hours since there would be nothing to do my manager would be ok with me going to a break room and doing some homework just as long as im show up on time for when the flight arrived. A big con tho would be that the clock in machine would constantly mess up so i manually had to track my hours. this resulted in some unpaid time
