Pros
-International and multicultural environment. -IATA is innovative and open to change. -New challenges come up regularly, keeping work interesting at all times.
Cons
- Continuous staff cuts (almost yearly), high staff turnover and continuous redistribution of tasks to less and less employees cause a lot of pressure. - Cutting highly knowledgeable or well performing staff members for no apparent reason causes high insecurity amongst employees. This insecurity leads to further staff leaving the company to look for more secure jobs. - Many departments are managed by authority and fear, according to the theme "do what I want and you'll be fine - contradict me and you're in trouble", this is sad because many people who work there are very competent and knowledgeable. IATA rarely takes responsibility for management errors (such as wrong decisions, cutting essential staff and resulting problems in managing day-to-day activities, lack of knowledge transfer due to staff cuts) and reflects all problem back on those that have not been able to influence the decisions or that had voiced them but had not been listened to. This leads to high insecurity, fear of taking necessary decisions and fear of reporting problems higher up.
