Pros

Depending on your boss - can be a nice environment to work in if you're at the airport office. Good perks from CAG - vouchers for good performance. Airport discounts for staff Able to get discounted tickets on Emirates Plenty to learn and do with the development of T5 and upgrading of knowledge within dnata is also encouraged

Cons

Constant restructuring Poor management leadership Top leadership is seen to be biased towards their own preferred SYT Top leadership does not understand Asia opportunities & culture - very detached It's a struggle to compete with SATS

Pros

Just about unlimited overtime during peak season

Cons

Have to work in all weather conditions and managers have less power over schedules and pay. It’s really all cooperate that handles that

Pros

Theres no pros to working here. Literally not one.

Cons

Where do I start? First, whoever does the hiring sells you a dream and how it’s such a great place to work and of course I know working isn’t supposed to be fun and you’ll enjoy it, but it should at least be bearable. At this company it’s not. They overwork you and underpay you severely. The GM would even tell you to do work that’s completely unrelated to your dept. HR is deplorable. I had to interview with a director of HR, and he was sitting in his backyard, feet plopped up on his table, leaning back, and conducting an interview. He couldn’t even answer my questions clearly. The GM was decent but that whole company is just awful. The benefits are horrible, HR always has an attitude and it’s just not an ideal place to work. Only accept this job to build up your experience and get out.
