What is the salary like at Alaska Airlines?

The benefits are nice, free flights and the health benefits are really good.

The pay is very bad, and the culture is not much better, although diversity is a big theme at the company, and they walk the walk. They also don't seem to value their employees, and we watch as they single out employees and treat them with an over management style that appears to be an attempt to make you want to quit. We have seen it time and time again. I believe in unions, but I don't think the one representing the Alaska employees is effective at ALL! Back to the pay. You have to work 60-plus hours a week just to make enough to pay your rent in Seattle and the extra hours you get by picking up shifts from co-works. It is not overtime pay, it is straight-time, nothing more. SeaTac recently increased the minimum wage, but Alaska lobbied and won to keep their pay below the new minimum wage. Would I recommend a job at Alaska? No, McDonald's pays more than Alaska, and I can only guess that it is a lot less stressful.

Working as a Station Manager at Alaska Airlines has been a truly rewarding experience, offering a dynamic and supportive work environment that fosters both personal and professional growth.

Additionally, Alaska Airlines invests in its employees through continuous training and development opportunities, ensuring that everyone has the tools they need to succeed in their roles. One of the standout aspects of working at Alaska Airlines is the emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. The supportive network of colleagues and management creates a positive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and respected. This spirit of cooperation not only enhances job satisfaction but also contributes to the exceptional service we provide to our customers.

It is a small company.

Decent pay and working from home

The training program is strict - then you get the worst schedules like late nights, you are micromanaged and managers are not super empathetic.

Best onboarding experience I've had with any company. 1-on-1 training, frequent check-ins, and great support from leadership. Light to medium workload. Great pay + benefits and great support on how to use those benefits. Glad to see Alaska expanding. Good transparency from upper management especially with recent credit cards changes and Hawaiian merge.

Any issues I'm having are typically outside of the company's control, commute/bus wait times, aging facility, etc. Guest welcoming platform could be better modernized for our Concierge Team.

Good pay, good people, management could be hit or miss. If you turn airplanes and have a good attitude nobody bothers you.

Time off is all bid. You have to schedule your life sometimes over a year in advance.

Great staff, great benefits, good pay and opportunities for bonuses and wonderful travel benefits

Long hours at times, busy schedules of flights

Great coworkers and atmosphere. Great travel benefits and pay was higher than most air carriers.

Lots of movement of tenured agents due to new management

In-depth and detailed training program for onboarding and on-the-job training; excellent benefits (better than most other airlines); easy-to-follow procedures; access for personal financial and physical and emotional well-being resources.

limited advancement opportunities unless you are in the Seattle area; smaller locations are limited in advancement; pay is lower than most airlines.

Remote Work flexibility, amazing team, great salary

To many teams in charge of specific part of the business

Some really good people working here

Travel perks are space available, pay is comparatively low, benefits especially medical is expensive with large copays compared to other major businesses in area, bonuses are usually payed in restricted stock units under a 3 year vest. If you quit, get layed off or terminated, all of your unvested stock equity is gone instantly. Very very common especially for director and above.
