I also work somewhere else, and recently a new member joined our team, it happened to be a manager that used to work at JFK for ssp, and encouraged me to apply... I found the add on Craigslist for an open call at central dinner terminal 4, I went and got my documents scanned, then you wait your turn until you're called... honestly, I didn't spoke that much, just mentioned how of a good service I'm able to provide under pressure, then the hiring manager mentioned about the process on how to obtain a badge, and how you can get a random schedule etc, I walked out unsure if I got hired or not, because they won't give you anything, just a promise that they will call you someday LOL. 3 to 4 weeks afterwards I received some random email (no call) with an appointment for your badge process. Well... I'm at the airport, working... just, when you get hired please pray that you get a good restaurant, because this is crucial!!! and you have no saying until a bidding comes... You get in the union after 30 days of probation, and get benefits after 1 year. Good? I felt that this type of information needed to be put out there, hope I helped someone, on answering some questions
