Passengers come off their flight upset about luggage that did not make the flight and file claims with us in order to have their baggage sent to them at their final destinations. I also ensure passengers make any connecting flights and make sure their luggage makes their flight as well. If their are any luggage left behind after a flight have taken off I make sure the luggage is out on the next flight and make it to the passenger. I call to follow up with the passenger the following day to ensure they have received their luggage.
I have learned how to resolve conflict, time management, how to approach upset passengers and allow them to calm down.
The management at my work place is outstanding in ways they work with you if you have emergencies or school. 
my co-workers are the best, they make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed. Everyone is included in any celebrations we have and feel as if they belong.
The hardest part of my job is seeing passengers upset and unhappy. I feel I have to do everything in my power to make sure all my passengers are happy or satisfied before they leave the airport.
The most enjoyable part of my job is hearing the happiness and the gratitude in their voices when i do my follow up calls ensuring they have received all their missing baggage.

I do love my job.  Its hard work but that's what I signed up for and I feel a sense of satisfaction when I complete a job and its done properly and the pilot lifts the plane in the air safely.  We work in crew and I have the best crew members at JFK from supervisor down.  The hardest part of my job is working in the heart of New York winter out on the tarmac at 2:00 a.m. (I work the night shift) and have to keep going although I am feeling the cold but I know its my job and after the plane that we are assigned too is airborne then we can get a breather and seek some warmth.  The most enjoyable part of my job is when my supervisor or a pilot on whose plane I am working says "good job".  I do feel compensated that I have done my  job well. Money is not my only compensation.  Overall, what I know about management is good.  This is because I dont have much interaction with management apart from my immediate supervisor.

If you are a server or bartender this is the best job for tips. The restaurants are busy all day everyday even early morning with new people all the time. You never see the same face twice and everyone is in a rush and wants to eat and pay quick. The prices are very high and people tip a percentage of the bill total. I've worked in restaurants for over 15 years and nothing compares to the tips at the airport. Plus most of the employees are in a union! It's very rare to be a bartender or server and also be in a union with benefits. Health insurance, vision, dental, 401k, life insurance, paid vacation, paid time off. The only bad thing about working the airport restaurants is the people are rude. They know they aren't going to see their bartender or server ever again and they act like it. Sometimes people even leave $0 for a tip because they know they'll never see you again but it's so busy that other customers make up for it.

Everyday at work is a learning experience for me. I get to meet people all over the world and learn about different currencies and languages. A typical day for me at work would be getting off the escalator and turning left and seeing all my coworkers smiling and happy to see me. I enjoy seeing change in a person ability to do better. Being a Team lead one of my responsibility is training new employees. Everyday seeing them grasp new information and adding them to their work efforts shows me that I'm doing a great job.  Managers checked into the stores to check targets and see how the store was doing. They always communicated on achievements as well as how we could do better. The  hardest part of my job is seeing a client reaction when they turn away because of their luxury taste.  The most enjoyable part of the job is when I meet my targets and the achievements.

I was a receptionist for this company. Not a great place to work because they were always short staff. I was fine with this in the beginning but once I became pregnant and gave birth to a child they tried to have me to overtime constantly. The company interfered with my home life. On top of that I was not given maternity pay even tho I stayed with the company a week into giving birth. They never sent out my papers to the right agency on time so I never received this pay. They treat their employee vert poorly. I witness times where they would trick older elderly employees (cleaners) into signing contracts. Thy have a high employee turn over rate.....Very terrible place!! They take advantage of people!! If you are OK with that then work for ISS Facility Services....
