Pros

At Home, Flight Benefits but have not been able to use

Cons

Constant talk of stats, call handling time, and daily request to log overtime, otherwise you get mandatory overtime. Creates resentment when it is a really difficult job. I've worked for other airlines and this has not been a good experience. In fact I am deeply disappointed that they treat call center and at home agents so poorly in not valuing their time, not just with constant mandatory overtime but a very out-dated and confusing log in system in login overtime and submitting bids. Management needs to give incentives when so much is expected and some calls are very hard as people yell and get mad at you. We constantly have to tell people things they don't want to hear, yet we HAVE to work overtime, even when we are burned out and then constantly reminded to show the Alaska Spirit in customer service! It's maddening and just so disappointing when it would not take that much to show appreciation for agents that bring in so much money for the company.

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
