I had the BEST co-workers in the world... for the most part. I really wouldn't trade them for the world. Management was the worst!  The supervisor was our leader but was COMPLETELY LOST when it comes to what it takes and mean to do our job. And the one above him wasn't much different. I always belied that in order to be a leader you must know and actually communicate with your crew. A good leader don't get his crew to do his work that was given to him them pass it off as if it was his hard work that run the department. favoritism can break a team no matter how many talented people you employ. Everyone must be treated equally. The equipment that we had was outdated... So outdated that most of it you couldn't find it on the market and we always have to pay extra just to slip a band-aid on a problem instead of just get down tot he problem and solving it. I was given such a hard time when I got pregnant that my stress level went up. My supervisor was a complete  jerk and got worse when I had complications!  But besides the management, and no room for advancement, and working with outdated equipment working at RDU was the best job I had in my life.

a typical day at work with charter express would be to clock in and wait for meeting, then go check in passengers at the ticket counter, then send someone down to work the gate and send another person to do fleet on the planes. and then on certain days if there is a night flight or charters or delays then we'll stay for that also. While working here I've learned how to deal with people of different personalities, and how to deal with certain situations. The management here is not the best but i do feel that our supervisors do a great job. The hardest part of this job to me would be dealing with angry passengers but as long as you maintain professional and do your job right. the most enjoyable part is going out for training or going on the planes for fleet.

I loved working for Preflight. When we were owned by an previous company Preflight was the best place to work in my opinion. The benefits were great, the pay was nothing to sneeze at, and for the most part the corporate enviornment was light. Even the corperate bosses wrent tough to deal with. A typical day at Preflight was usually low stress and fluid tasks. It had spurts of getting very busy but overall the crew of employees knew how to do their job and managment knew how to do theirs. Unfortunately our competitors have deeper pockets and bigger dreams than the company that owns us now so as of the this week we have been sold to our competition. Its a sad day but i have to thank preflight for the best 5 years of my life and my loyalty will always be with them.

A normal day at work begin with ascertaining the good working condition of equipment used. The organization of the work area is followed before doors open. Arriving customers are directed to the right places. They will be greeted and their return processed.
This position has taught me a lot about people. Few two customers will have the same reaction in the same situation. Moreover I have learn a lot about myself as I was learning to put the customers’ needs first.
Most people in the management team are helpful and ready to assist. With the management example many of the co-workers are really team workers.
Although it is hard to work outside exposed to all weather elements, this job is fulfilling anytime that I am able to make a positive difference in one customer’s life.

I arrived to work every day with a pep in my step because my supervisor trusted and believed in me and my directives were clear and concise.  

I learned just how an airport functions.  It's a small city with an enormous amount of working cogs and wheels that need to be working together. 

The management seemed to be mixed up a bit and a lot of paper shuffling went on.  

The hardest part of the job was attempting new things to benefit the company when veteran employees wanted the same old repetitive nature with less than positive results.  

I enjoyed every part of the job, the hours, pay, people, tasks as well as the hard parts.  I seemed to have a great flow while working there.

My typical day at RDU Airport is a fast paste environment where your constantly moving and your working to get all flights out on time. The management has been good to me everyone is like a family there. The hardest part to my job is honestly is trying to time the shuttle to get from employee parking to Terminal 2. The most enjoyable part about my job is my job every one gets along. The Workplace is Diverse. I've learned many different skills at RDU Airport how to work together as a team under minimal time and still overcome what was to be failure. We all find ways to communicate with one another despite the culture.

We would clean several planes each night, w/same dirty rags, same dirty mops, vacuums would not work very long due to being generated by batteries.  Many of us, mostly older workers were scared to lose job if they ask for dinner break while cleaning planes during midnight to am...it was very tiring.  It was unfair and unsafe, and very dirty environment.  You had to carry your supplies from plane to plane and be strong enough for eight house of bending under chairs, cleaning bathrooms with same cloths we clean kitchen cabins with too.  It was hard work for $9 hr.

There’s no actual SOP, last minute changes in daily procedures with security and no real advancement for security officers. Strongly enforce the vehicle traffic rules and maintain safety above feelings. You’ll be hired as an ASO- Airport Security Officer but, you’ll just be directing traffic. Depending on who you work with, you’ll probably not want to work there for too long.  Very likely to experience some passive aggressive racism and even face scrutiny from some people when voicing your opinions about workplace safety or issues. Tribalism mindset is rampant.

Moved cars to different places on the lot, drove vehicles to the ready line area and parked for easy access by customers, drove vehicles through cleaning and servicing facility. 
I learned that you have to satisfy customers needs in any way possible. It was also very fun working as a team and with the management, they made it a better experience for me. 
The hardest part of the job was staying on a time schedule to get the car and park it in the ready line area in time for availability for the customers.
The most enjoyable part of the job was satisfying the customers needs and working as a team with my coworkers.
