Good Potential but Excellent International Business Opportunities

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall, it was an interesting place to work. I did learn a lot specifically about international business. I definitely think that there is potential growth but the airline industry is anything but stable.

Cons

Airline industry can be topsy-turvy and I think that made people somewhat sad. Management should take better care in ensuring that employees are happy and productive. Being owned by a parent German company can be tough at time. Sometimes the right answer would not be accepted because it was not the German opinion of what the solution should be. Turnover was extremely high when I was there due to people exiting as the economy improved.

LSG SKY Chefs continues to lead the industry in Airline Catering and Services

Senior analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This truly is the most "family-like" environment I have ever worked in. The people are what make this a great place to work. Management does a good job of communicating what is going on with the company every month. Flexible work schedules are available offering work from home and/or differing start times.

Cons

The downside of working at LSG is the dependence on the Airline industry and the volatility involved there. Fuel costs and the economy impact people flying and if people are not flying, then the airlines are looking at ways to cut costs. That has caused a history of layoffs at the company and really hangs over the heads of employees during difficult times.
