Easy work but doesn't help in immigration purposes

Inventory Clerk (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 1 December 2023

I requested the company to provide me documents to support my immigration file but got refused every time and the work was easy. Usually you are free but I didn't like my schedule of continental shifts and phone is allowed too.

Great Experience for Basic Airline Industry but NOOOO

Customer Service Supervisor (Former Employee) - Toronto - 11 October 2023

Menzies it’s a great place to grow, learn and absorb the airline industry, but it’s not the best company to work in. The HR department it’s a joke, people get away with everything regardless of how bad the situation can be, and the reporting managers are useless. Plus, they’ll literally owe you money… I’m still waiting for the pay they owed me from few years ago and all I hear are excuses, I eventually got tired. But yes, get the experience and leave for a better position/company

Sucks here turn back now

Passenger Service Agent (Current Employee) - Ontario - 5 October 2023

What else can i say but this place is a very draining place. They would just hire anyone and everyone which makes the job harder because you would be working with lazy and unkept people. Also uniform sucks, people at the airport thinks so low of you because of the “uniform” looking like a mess, and yes i know because i work there and they told me.

Productive and fun work place

Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 21 September 2023

Very understanding when it comes to taking time off and really flexable about the schedule but when the aircraft is late you would have to stay pass your time schedule but hours will always be there.

Cool and fast paced

Fuel Truck Driver (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 13 September 2023

Great place to work if you enjoy airplanes, when toy first start out overtime is guaranteed and almost never negotiable but it’s usually only for an hour at a time

Horrible workplace

Horrible management and wages are a joke. They barely make women do the lifting even though they are paid the same as men.equipment is not safe either as they function some of the time

Good for entry level

Passenger Service Agent (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 23 August 2023

A busy day you have to work at kiosk checkin, checkin counter, departure gate, arrivals and baggage area, almost everyday same routine. At kiosk after flight departures, the management do not let you relaxed even there is no passenger in the checkin hall, one is standing for 3 to 4 hrs continuesly but cannot even lean against a pole or so, supervisors resting on there chairs but they object on agents if they show a little tiredness, you are treated like robbots not human.

Pros

Good learning place about flight operation.

Cons

Unschedule breaks, being treated as machines

Fun

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Hamilton, ON - 10 August 2023

Shifts are short and start at crazy hours. Fun though meeting people and getting them ready for their trips. Tough to get full time hours and to travel to work just for a 4 hour shift

Easy job but

Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Toronto Pearson International Airport, ON - 10 August 2023

Jobs super easy but managed by a bunch of incompetent people. Can’t really expect to advance here unless you break your back. Expect to work weekends for years as it’s all seniority based

Not bad, but not good

Fueler (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 26 July 2023

It's no career, but it can pass as a job for a couple years. The pay is decent but responsibilities are insane. Overtime is available after 8 hours everyday. Extremely hot if you get a shift in the morning/afternoon. If you like to sweat without paying for the gym, I guess it's a nice place to be.

Bad management, work under extremely long time under pressure.

Aircraft Refueler (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 11 July 2023

Mid class management are the brother hood. They cover for each other. There is no space to grow up. The harder you work, the more job you will get, and more mistake you will make. In Menzies, you are just a number, the don't care how good you done. Salary is not good, have to over time a lot. No work life balance, 16 hours a day is normal, the benefits is not good. You pay a lot for benefits. The union also take money from your cheque, but not doing anything. Union wants you vote to someone you never seen. If you male mistake in airport, you will be suspended for couple of days, and it is often. And there is no safety there due to the bad ramp supervisor.

Best work

Ramp Agent (Current Employee) - Abbotsford, BC - 18 June 2023

Doesn't feel like work, it is a chill work. You only work when flight arrives and rest of the time you can do anything. Pay is rational and you also get flight benefits.
