Use to be a great place to work, now don't bother working here, management is horrendous, they could careless about the employees. Will over work you and not compensate, HR is useless won't take any complaints serious. Gotta be bestfriends or sleeping with management to get anywhere.

Cargo Agent (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 July 2021
been with the company for 4 years,only given a raise once within those 4 years without any part-time benefitslack of professional management education with minimum career advancement. lack of human resources, must go through boss before HR and usually takes up to 2 weeks before needed to remind management about issues. boss cares for his own good and rarely for the care of his staff, looks to save money for his annual bonus!
Pros
a lot of sitting around
Cons
management

Air traffic ramp controller controler
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 22 March 2021
This is a unionized job so they say. And it requires Hands-on experience and extensive training. Not everyone makes it. You are trained extensively. And there’s a lot of on the job experience you obtain. He work with different cruise and you have different levels of security badges. Sometimes I worked in incoming or should I say international incoming Aircraft department. I also worked in servicing aircraft. Both domestic and international. There were problems. They tell you you should not take any job unless you’re on train for it. That became a little bit of a problem. Otherwise the job is interesting but it is dangerous and requires your attention at all times. My initial boss was great. while I was excited about the job there were problems with it.
Pros
You’re providing a great service and working with other people
Cons
See union reps appear to be the same people that caused the problems

A good place to figure out your next step
Fuel Farm Operator (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 5 November 2020
There is no real opportunity for growth at this company. Management has no educational background, they do not attend workshops or aspire to be better managers. The co-workers were mostly retirement-age and absolutley miserable complaining day-in and day-out. All new employees have a high turnover rate due to not wanting to end up like their bitter co-workers.
Pros
Lots of downtime.
Cons
You're responsible for work that should be contracted out (landscapping, snow removal, filter cleaning)

If it works with your outside life and/or second job it’s great
Crew Leader (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 5 October 2020
(Not during a pandemic) There’s a lot of opportunity to make new friends, move up in the company and add skills to your skillset/resume. Plenty of downtime during break/ in between flights most days.You can accumulate vacation hours very quickly too.
Pros
A lot of downtime, Decent benefits
Cons
Not very flexible schedules if full time

Hard to belong
Leadership Trainer / Recruiter (Former Employee) - Ontario - 21 September 2020
Not an overall bad experience. Need to prove yourself constantly! highly competitive and stressful at times. You have to pick the right crowd to hangout with to succeed. No learning curve, yet excellent managers in some departments. At the end it was a nice experience. However, some of the employees have very bad attitude towards one another and need to be trained on how to communicate and deal with others.
Pros
Manager
Cons
Colleges

Jobs at Menzies Aviation
Relaxing Job As Long As You Get The Work Done
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Toronto Pearson International Airport, ON - 30 July 2020
In the summer this job gets very hot because you are outdoors and in the winter it gets really cold. Job is fast paced when working but a lot of down time. Lead hands and allocators are cool as well. Some days are harder than others but most days are regular. Best job is connections, bag room runner or Cargo!
Pros
A lot of down time, more than a hour lunches
Cons
Weather conditions

High turnover rate, vacancies always available
Ramp Agent and Transfer Runner (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 20 July 2020
Worked at Terminal 3 at Toronto Pearson airport. Quite a lengthy trek in order to check-in. Always need to check-in on time via fingerprint scanner. Get assigned many flights per-day. It's back breaking work, dirty, on your knees, heavy baggage, sweating from the summer heat and no circulation within the baggage compartment of the 737 (especially the -800 series). Loud engines and running APU's will cause progressive hearing loss. Definitely explains the high turnover rate. On the flip side, you'll get quick progression from that. i.e. weekends off, mobility to other positions. I switched to transfer runner which was a lot easier and recommended to everyone. Best part of the job was the funny characters you met.
Pros
Quick mobility
Cons
Backbreaking work

Avoid this company
Baggage Handler (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 3 June 2020
This company was ok to start but if you were to ever get injured god forbid they will lose all your supported documents and start blaming you that you didnt provide them anything. Its an extremely disorganized company and horrible management. Also, most coworkers that been here long do not follow any rules that we were taught during hiring process, and if you do not follow them you would get bullied constantly. Benefits were aright could be better.

Average company
RAMP AGENT LEAD (Current Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 29 May 2020
If you don't have a problem with working hard, being on time and learning quickly you will be satisfied with your responsibilities. High employee turn over rate makes it a little challenging for others.
Pros
Has a close knit work environment
Cons
High employee turn over

Dont bother at all
Upgrade Ramp Lead (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 18 May 2020
Don't work for Menzies, for the same pay. apply to Air Canada and receive amazing flight benefits. Managers don't care about you here and just want you to work like slaves so they can get their bonuses.

Time management
Fueler (Former Employee) - Mississauga, ON - 7 May 2020
As a feuler you will be trained of several different aircraft.
If you don't know, call supervisor, they will come and help you until you know how to do it yourself. Follow guidelines and procedures and you will be fine.

Great place to start at the airport
Aircraft Refueler (Former Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 2 May 2020
I was an airplane fueller until being laid off due to covid 19. Loved the job, my coworkers, driving the fuel truck. I hope to go back sometime. They paid for training, I got my RAIC and AVOP through them. Full time hours with benefits.
