Air Canada Employee Reviews in Winnipeg, MB

It wasn't a bad place to work. Had more a problem with the job than did with the company. Pay is okay, lots of opportunity to move up and make more money.

Was ok while it lasted

Supply Coordinator (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 5 February 2024

Only lasted a few months before layoffs hit. But it was a good place to work at. Good benefits, good coworkers, and an interesting industry to work in.

This company do not want older aircraft technitions period

Aircraft Technician (Former Employee) - YWG HEAVY MAINTENANCE BASE WINNIPEG - 2 December 2023

I have applied numerous times to air canada for aircraft maintenance positions on line for toronto and quebec and even with my qualifications and certs and 20+years in the trade the only response I got back was all negative like we do not want you as a employee your to old to have around and work as a tech their afraid the older experienced techs will show the younger mechanics a thing or two as regards to proper ways to do aircraft maintenance. I can read air canada,s hr and management very well this company has really gone down hill they are lost in space from the older day,s in aviation and most of the aviation companies I see today are all the same this day and age today air canada,s management team has 0 people skills it,s all business only people do not matter whatsoever the aircraft mechanics are all treated like gremlins working for a bean counter operation this is the way I see things today this world we live in today is a lost cause the people are treated garbage.

Pros

I see nothing good working for air canada

Cons

The management and hr have 0 people skills to offer employee, S whatsoever

Fun experience, but was a good company

Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 9 April 2023

Underpaid, overworked because of seniority, overgrown highschool dramatics, favoritism from management. Look else where this company is barely any better than the other airlines. Union also doesn't care. Benefits are not great anymore, company likes to brag about caring for you but typical bs. wants to milk profits instead of actually being a good employer.

Pros

Hours

Cons

Work environment

Toxic workplace

Senior Manager (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 30 January 2023

They are incompetent directors with a whole lot of office drama and politics. The grossest place I've worked. I Hung in there just for the flight benefits, or else I would have resigned in the first year. Very low pay because lots of people apply. coworkers are always looking to backstab, an unacceptable level of gender bios its ridiculous

Pros

floght benefits

Cons

everything else sucks

Inspiring workplace with challenges

Administrative Assistant (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 14 October 2022

Oversll the company is great, a nice work environment and they value the employee with certain exclusive benefits such as free flight tickets but bases on seniority.

Work flexibility/availability

SA (Former Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 17 August 2022

No work flexibility. For PT they expect you to be available to work 24/7. Shift trade is total BS if none of you colleagues don't want to help you out or don't care. Too much seniority dramas. Too much politics especially if someone didn't like you. They will try to being you down.Gossip spreads fast like a wildfire. Word of advice, find work elsewhere.

Air canada

Station Attendant (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 22 April 2022

Nice place to work but not enough salary. There are great travel benefits for travel and good pension plan. They should work on salary because not all the employees are equally compensated.

Union

Machinist fitter (Former Employee) - Winnipeg hanger - 19 August 2020

The down side to working at AC was the union culture, especially with the senior employees who were always making sure you knew they were the last to go on a layoff...a lot of dead wood working there due to the union.

Pros

Great perks

Cons

union

Wonderful place to work

HR Specialist (Current Employee) - Winnipeg, MB - 9 December 2019

I think the company is one of the best I've ever worked for. The communication, the freedom to express ideas and help innovate, the travel benefits, health benefits, and overall job satisfaction are amazing. There is a reason we have been in Canada's Top 100 Companies for many years and it shows. Of course not every position is perfect, but I have no complaints whatsoever.
