Careers: Career Paths


ATS has opportunities for employees who wish to grow in their professional development. This is known as a career path. A career path takes place through promotions based on the abilities of the employee and may vary by station and by individual given different sets of circumstances.

First and foremost, for an employee to be promoted, s/he must understand and show a thorough understanding of safety, the company provided services, customer service, and strategic vision.

Listed below are positions employees can be promoted into within our Operations Department:
  • Vice President
  • Regional Vice President
  • General Manager
  • Station Manager
  • Manager (Ramp/Passenger Service/Cargo/Grooming/Fueling/Duty)
  • Supervisor

  • Agent (Ramp/Passenger Service/Cargo/Grooming/Fueling)

Airport Terminal Services is an internationally recognized quality ground service provider. Our team works closely with our clients (the airlines) and their customers. 

The ATS network spans 34 cities throughout the United States and Canada and is home for more than 1,500 respected employees. ATS is committed to the continuous development of our employees, as evident by our President, Sally Leible (over 30 years of service) and Vice President of Operations, Brian Wood (over 29 years of service), both of whom started with ATS in entry-level positions.

Safety is an important part of our daily life. Our employees receive personalized, job-specific training, as well as regular formal reviews with possible pay increases to assess the individuals’ qualities and experience with respect to their personal goals. ATS reinforces this philosophy through weekly safety meetings, bulletin boards to review policies and pertinent information, and safety quizzes. We also offer safety related incentive programs for our employees.

  • Hourly Operations employees paid weekly
  • Employee Referral Bonuses
  • Safety Incentive Awards
  • "Ideas that Fly" Suggestion Program - where employees can earn from $5 to $10,000 for suggestions used
  • 401k Program with company match
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Training is provided
  • Most hourly Operations employees are eligible for pay increases every 6 months
  • Insurance benefits available for full time employees

ATS feels like a second home.

The best thing about working for ATS is being treated like a team player and that my ideas and opinions matter.
