Work culture and crew facilities.
Every company has people who are sometimes dominant and everyone is in someway to their juniors...however i dont belive people should have different perks just because they are from a different country like from asia and not a white people country even dough their work and position is the same...it is racist in someway.
If we are appropriately staffed then its great to work but last contract we were under staffed and no one seemed to care unless we put it in the ILO about how we were doing a job for one extra person for free

Well organized Company, they take good care of their crew and officers.
Every company has pros and cons, for some people the salary that HAL offers might be less but it was fine with me.
Train, supervise and coach restaurant staff for efficient operation. Organize and conduct pre-shift and departmental meetings communicating pertinent information to the staff, such as house count and menu changes. Direct staff in their work assignments.
