What is the best part of working at the company?
Incredible flexibility, the company allows you to have free range with shift trades, early departures, late arrivals, and even book offs (where you call in for whatever reason) once you are done probation. This is entirely because the company is inefficient and slow to react, and if you do abuse it blantantly far too much then you might get some progressive discipline, but overall the flexibility in most any position with them I’ve seen allows this. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You have so many different stakeholders putting pressure on you it’s absurd (within the aviation side of the business). As a screening point manager, I have direct and constant interactions with tens of stakeholder groups each day, from passengers, to government oversight, to the wheelchair services, to each and every airline (and tons more) at Toronto pearson it is very stressful, but fantastic experience. As a screening officer, you generally deal with these same stakeholders and the same number, but once you don’t feel like dealing with the situation anymore you are well within the norm to hand it off to the screening point manager. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Chaotic and cluttered. There is a large push to be unified (from union, the company, or even the government training), but within the officers everyone has organized into very large groups of friends which all have their own environment and culture. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I take control of the checkpoint and assess the situation based on breaks. Some checkpoints that are smaller s virtually run themselves, but the bigger ones will have you running around like a madman the entire day. Over one afternoon shift from when the morning officers end to when the overnight officers start you likely manage over 100 people working at the largest checkpoint. As a a manager here, you are responsible for: all your officers (their conduct, if they cause breaches, their breaks), dealing with passenger complaints, interacting with other companies, balancing staff with the other 4 main passenger checkpoints and 2 non passenger checkpoints, lost and found, testing forms, alcohol destruction, alarm sheets, shift logs, troubleshooting (and then calling in) faulty equipment, oversight, giving briefings, performing audits on Gsked and Kronos (scheduling and punch clock software), and much much much more.

The day goes by fast, depending on which shift you are on. Flexible vacations and trade schedule.  Most management were screening officers so there are room to advance if you want the title but pay and benefits are not unionized. The management could improve their communication and coaching skills. It takes time to get used to the jobs and find your people at work, but when you are comfortable with tasks, it will be a breeze every day. The pay rate changes based on your accumulated hours but capped at around $28-29.

Your just a number. They don't care about you

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Getting headaches from clients. You're responsible for other people mistakes

Hard to manage the team as the guards are aware they have strong union. Not a supportive management at all. Too much tantrums. They are not open at all just want what is right for them to keep the contract. After all it's a "Business".

This place has terrible management that will screw you over horribly no matter how long you've been with the company. My supervisor would full on lie to me at every opportunity and frequently violated basic worker rights and withheld weeks of pay. Do not ever accept a job with this company unless you want to wind up sleeping on a park bench.

Typical Union vs Management.

Management hates its employees and will do whatever it can to make an extra doller. Dont waste your time here, its a dead end with only constant fighting for your rights. 27 an hour to risk your life at night with millions in cash.
