Atlas may want to hire anyone from any country, but it just doesn’t work that way. I’m sure they wish that was the case haha. I was a permanent resident for a long time, then became a US citizen, so I know a bit about immigration

Look, I work with the hiring team. Several months ago we interviewed a few folks that were seeking visas, they had to do their own funding and leg work. It is just too spendy and time consuming, and Atlas does not foot the bill. We aren’t even interviewing such folks at this time and haven’t for several months. As I have stated several times it is;

US citizens
Others that have the right to work, e.g. Green cards or visas from an American spouse
Aussies as they have a much quicker and cheaper visa route
Folks that worked another visa on their own and are awaiting final authorization

So please stop encouraging others and stating that “someone told me” that Atlas will hire anyone from anywhere.

Default Baggage allowance for flight to Indoc

Should the company provide checked bags on your gateway flight to Miami for initial training?
Expecting to be in Miami for a few months, surely they would expect you to bring more than just a carry on.

Yes They will pay for checked bags. I claimed 2 bags when I arrived a few weeks ago and it was paid, no questions. They will show you how to claim your checked bags on day 1 or 2.

So even though the joining ticket says no bags, just turn up with them, pay and company will reimburse? That’s great thanks

If you are at the big Marriott Compound, there are washers and dryers. $2.25 per load wash and dry, payable through the WashMe App or credit card on the machine. There is also a dry cleaners three blocks away. Might help you from over-packing, which I definately did.

To add to this. If at Home2 they have 2 washers and dryers. They are free to use if you can get in.

The Atlas interviewers, and others in the hiring department, need to stop telling people this stuff, if it's not true.

When I was a new hire, I asked to come in a couple of days early to MIA. They bought me the ticket I wanted, and paid for those extra days in the hotel.

In 2020, I brought my CEO to recurrent training, so she could have some warm weather holiday. I told the company i wanted 2-3 extra hotel nights, and I had no problem paying for those extra days.
Atlas paid for the extra hotel days.
