What is the best part of working at the company?
After everyone got trained and locked on, the managers only have to say Hello and give safety brief. The rest of the shift is automatic. We just do and know without asking. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most stressful part is trying not to get hit by a plane or others on the flight line. It's like a video game 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?

In between work, enjoy each other, watch TV, play games, do trainings on computer, BBQ

The work itself is easy and simple. The Sups to management communication does not exist tho. Sups say 1 thing and management says another. i love working at the airport just to watch the massive planes take off and also learn about them, The work place has a huge diversity of people working there. That being said it creates a revolving door of employees. WFS could be a great company or a great place to work if they just screened people before hiring them. Down time while working here is cool, if no planes come in i could watch YT for like an hour. No phones on the floor but most employees disrespect the sups so they dont listen to them. Some people will stay in your group just to scroll TT or YT cause you work fast and finish cans, watch out for them. Favoritism sadly is big here, i have seen Males get 8-14 points and get terminated. I have seen Females rack up 50+ points and still work there. I would work here agian if i came back as a manager to really fix the place.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The human connection between hr staff and employees is outstanding! They are kind, helpful and sincerely empathetic to the human issues that plague our community. These folks are professional and have a heart! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It can be a bit physically demanding but not too bad. It's a timely business but staff seems supportive and helpful even lower management is there to help you out. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Helpful and Hard working. They take care of their people. It's not the highest paid position at entry level however they make up for it with hiring from within and quick opportunities to move up in the company.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's a fast business but everybody seems to work together for the most part. They seem to concentrate on solutions rather than problems.  All in all I liked it.

Worked for a solid 8 months before I finally called it quits. The benefits or lack there of I should say is laughable! You need to work 1 year before you can actually take time off with pay(vacation). The sick pay also isn't available until 1 year into employment which is only 5 days out of the year. There is no PTO! Going back to the vacation, you need to work a total of 15 YEARS TO GET 2 WEEKS OUT OF THE YEAR! Only 5 days vacation until you reach 6 years! The work environment is depressing and uninspiring. The turn over rate is astronomically high due to a toxic work environment and no morale. The monotonous and tedious nature of work here is depressing. I would not recommend anyone who values their health and wellbeing to work here. Lack of an inspiring environment, employee benefits and poor management is all you will get working here. 

Pros: There's a lot of down time almost to much 
Cons: the staff and hr everything about this place is f**cked up I mean everything they fire good employees for no reason literally the supervisor start problems with employees even if your working hard etc it's legit not even worth applyiing! As you start orientation it's a complete waste of 8 hours of your day because as soon as you start your shift the orientation had nothing to do with what you are doing in the warehouse! On top of that when you start your legit first day there gonna pretend to have someone train you and your literally just standing there doing absolutely nothing I swear they give you no direction no nothing you just gotta ask some employees who are working there to teach you and even sometimes that doesn't work and they just leave and your by yourself again .

A typical day at work is very busy. I do a lot a task on a daly basis and more being a supervisor. Ive learned how to lead and guide my agents into learning and growing so they can develop them selfs to be professionals in what they do. The management is not the best over here, sometimes I wish they would have are back more. The culture has got better with time thanks to all the work we have been doing making sure the protocol and safety procedures are being followed. There are still some stuff that could be better and need to be work on. The hardest part of the job is getting your agents to be fully engaged with the operation. Taking a delay for a late plane can cost the company lots of dollars and the agents got to be aware of that. The best thing about this job is all that you can learn. There's so many things to learn from working with a airplane. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Company is NOT organized  AT ALL. Management is lazy and unmotivated. Every employee does the bare minimum to get paid and complains where there is too much work to do or no one is helping them.

The lack of effort and laziness of every employee. If you work too hard they start relying on you to do everything.
