Pros

-You work with some great non-union employees and a very few hard-working union employees. -If you want a job where you can't be fired but instead moved around this is the place for you. -Salary is ok, -benefits are good, enjoyed the employee discount program.

Cons

The unions control everything at BWI. Management's goal is to keep the unions happy, so there is a lot of looking the other way. This results in some workers doing the lowest amount of work possible or none at all, knowing nothing will happen. If you have integrity this is not the place for you.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
