Pros
You get to read a book or magazine inbetween flights and get paid for it ~~ Company pays for parking in the employee lot at OIA ~~ You get an extra 15 minutes a day if you punch in before your shift ~~ You arent docked for the 1/2 hour lunch/dinner break but you get indigestion real quick because you have to wolf down your food to get back to your post on time ~~
Cons
Lousy hours: You have to "bid" for the shift you need (or want); Its the lowest paying counter job at OIA; Mgrs "nit-pick" about everything from the length of your nails to your hair style to standing up while doing your job (even though for the last 8 years it didnt matter); You have to wear the ugliest uniform EVER (Black pants & yellow polo shirts or WHITE polyester shirts (depending on your position); Very stressful clients and the managers NEVER stand behind their employees actions or back them up; You ONLY get recognition if you do something wrong; You only get 1/2 hour for "lunch" with NO other breaks inbetween; Employee parking at OIA is 5 miles away and can only be gotten to by jam-packed shuttle bus that runs sporadically; No paid sick days (you have to be off 2 in order to get paid for 1 & then you need a doctors note to come back); Medical insurance is lousy (Humana) -- HIGH premiums for mediocre coverage.
