Massachusetts Port Authority

I worked here as an intern in my final semester of college. I don't think my experience here was typical because the person I was hired to work for left the company about two weeks after I was hired, and it seemed that no one really knew what to do with me - I was told to ask for work when I wasn't busy, however they never had work for me and seemed very busy themselves (this was the executive administration so understandable), but it then seemed like they thought I should be doing more work- which there was apparently none of.

Aside from that and a sign in the microwave room that said "break room is for members of executive admin ONLY", this seemed like a pleasant place to work for the full-timers, everyone I met was pleasant and seemed to have good working relationships. Mostly folks further on in their careers, mid-30's to mid-50's, beautiful lunch area and walking path next to the water, not really close to anything other than logan airport but kind of interesting at least.

Salary is decent and benefits are okay. They seem to encourage movement and try new roles within the company.

Management requires improvement as they often set unrealistic deadlines, causing undue stress on the team. Certain departments do not honor the hybrid/flexible schedule, and there's a perceived bias in HR, lacking support for employees.

Management should prioritize actively enhancing the work culture instead of exerting excessive effort to create a positive external image for the public and potential applicants.

Typical day.. Sit in your cube & work hard. Look up info needed by others, answer questions by phone etc..
I learned to keep my mouth shut and just work like a dog and learned that upper management does not give a hoot about your work ethics only about numbers. You are not a human being just a number. If you do good work & give all you have to the job, they will let you go..
Coworkers were the most enjoyable part of job. Great comradery.
Worst part was having to deal with upper management and obtuse people.

I very much enjoyed my tenure at Massport.  There are many opportunities to get involved in projects and initiatives.  Worked with many fantastic, brilliant people. 

There is not much opportunity for advancement.  This is a function of both the lack of promotion from within as well as the "lifers" who are waiting for retirement - this is not to disparage these loyal employees.  Just the way it is.

There was never a typical day at the airport
Learned that dealing with people from all over the world can be very fulfilling. 
Management was always there when needed
Hardest part was Winter time when you may have to spend days at the airport during snow storms
Enjoyable part was all the guys I worked with

Most people you work with are career employees. It's really like a big family. Every day you are solving problems and it's exciting. when working in the transportation sector there is always something new. Weather affects the port and airport as well as peak travel periods. 

My time at MASSPORT was certainly a good experience. Staff was willing to help if I had any questions. Most of the people who work there have been in the field for years. However, this could be also seen as a negative because most of the employees were a lot older than I so upward mobility in the company could be difficult. Also, sometimes the work became monotonous and boring.

Massport aviation facilities management has created a very hostile, unprofessional, condescending, and unsupportive work environment for their union employees. They issue warnings, suspensions, and sometimes terminations for irrational and unjustifiable reasons. A terrible, toxic, and unhealthy work environment. I was there over 10 years.

i interned for this company, internship was great! supervisor was very helpful and showed me many areas of company aside from work i was doing in the dept assigned to. learned a lot but there was no compensation for any of it. selection process by HR seems to be more of "who you know in the industry" rather than your actual experience
