New Job
So, I had my interview at WestJet Airlines today for Ramp Agent. It went very well, there wasn't a question that I couldn't answer. Although, I wish I had brought shiny new pair of shoes the day before but the one I had was good enough. The interviewer told me that WestJet was shortstaffed badly and were looking to hire more agents right off the bat, so I'm pretty much hired now.
I'll break down what FedEx and WestJet has to offer to me:
Pay rate
FedEx: $16.42 hourly
WestJet: $10.45 hourly
Winner: FedEx
Hours
FedEx: 5pm-10pm weekday, 1am-5am and 6pm-10pm Sunday (Minimal 17.5 required, Max 32)
WestJet: Flexible ranging from 4am - 2am daily (Minimal 25 required, Max 40)
Winnter: WestJet
Shift Trading
FedEx: Allowed with limits
WestJet: Allowed with no limits
Winner: WestJet
Pay raise
FedEx: Every year depending on performance review
WestJet: 9 months after first hired date and every 6 months after that (I think)
Winner: WestJet
Student Benefits
FedEx: 1500 yearly
WestJet: N/A
Winner: FedEx
Benefits
FedEx: Reduced rate for sending package, discount with different airlines, medical, dental, yearly bonuses, and contribution to CPP
WestJet: Pay only tax on WestJet tickets, medical, dental, eyewear, stock plan, peak period bonuses, and contribution to CPP
Winner: WestJet
I plan on working for both company (WestJet during the day, FedEx @ night) for the summer but once school starts again in the fall, I'm gonna have trouble deciding which company to stay with. Both has its benefits that I like and dislike and I'm kinda bent toward to WestJet to that end because of its flexible schedule that can work well with my school schedule. At some point time when I get my degree, with WestJet, I'm more likely to land on IT job than FedEx since WestJet's headquartered here in Calgary while FedEx is in Memphis.
Thoughts? Opinion?
