Pros

Just the location as it was quite convenient when going to and coming from the Zurich airport

Cons

Lots of them, but especially the atmosphere in Kloten Balsberg. Working at the headquarters is like being at the cemetery. I never felt comfortable and I consider myself as a very social individual who has worked for a few multinational organizations in both developing and developed countries. Probably the atmosphere was totally contaminated/affected due to a well-known event which was unveiled two years ago. Also very bad management. People who have not got any relevant experience are at managerial positions. People say it is great that there are very nationalities. That is true, but there are many Swiss who are not really open and the real career opportunities are normally for the Swiss.

Pros

staedy job, salary on time,

Cons

supervisors are ignorent and does not work systematically , truck are rusty and ramp agent over burden , need to cater aircraft in 15 minutes , and run to the next gate, then refill and re load the truck again , 5 minute lunch break and then spend your lunch time building up soda tray and then load again in the truck , twice go to trash to clean the truck and after 8 or 10 hrs again refill and re load the truck with supplies for next driver . no holiday no sick leave ,and supervisor is always looking to and threatning to fire you , more like master and slave type of mentality .
