Pros

Hiring on as a crew dispatcher you will work out of the HDC (Harriman Building). The position as a Crew Dispatcher offer competitive pay, great benefits, and endless opportunities to get promoted from within the company. Health insurance is really awesome, because once you get into a management position it sucks. Best regards,

Cons

Starting out union you get the bottom of the stick. Meaning start off working on the extra board which is on call between 2nd and 3rd shift. It is a hard balance between work and family. After a while you will lose lack of sleep so soon you get off it is imperative sleep right away. Training is not the best as well, but they are working on it
