Pros

Flight benefits 401k 9% Profit sharing plan

Cons

-Work Life Balance is poor - peers and even your leadership send emails all hours of nights and weekends - resulting in pressure to respond for fear of being perceived as less committed than others -Lot of politics and inconsistencies -Lack of *authentic talent development and coaching - especially for existing people leaders to better assimilate to their new team/surroundings - there are plenty of online resources and “check the box” classes, but need more commitment to training, coaching, developing recently promoted leaders -Company and many leaders promote “family” and “rules of the road” but often dismiss when inconvenient for them. -Too many jerks and bad people leaders getting ahead by kissing the right *ss

Pros

Awesome company to work for! Fun work environment, cares about employees, great uniforms, competitive pay, just an awesome company to work for! They are very flexible, you can live anywhere in the world you want, as long as your able to get to work when you need to be there!

Cons

At the end of the day, it is a very large corporation. So it is very easy to become just a "number" in the company. The flight attendant group is not unionized, so rules can change very often. Make sure your time management is impeccable, because you cannot be late for work AT ALL, and there aren't many acceptable excuses, even rain is not an excuse.

Delta Air Lines Response

Thank you for your review and recommendation of Delta. We work hard every day to make Delta a great place to work; it’s nice to hear how much you enjoy our company and our work environment. Our people and our culture are our most important competitive advantages and the direct relationship we have enjoyed with our flight attendants has served our people, our customers and our company very well. To that end, we have a strong open door policy that enables any employee to go directly to a leader with any concerns, and we have hundreds of flight attendants who are actively engaged in our business, providing feedback and working on solutions for their colleagues and our customers. At Delta, a consistent, reliable operation is one of the reasons our top customers come back to fly with us time and again. That makes employee reliability – being on time, every day, for your shift or your flight – especially important. We agree that having a fundamental understanding of the flight attendant role is important for our field leaders, and we also value diversity at all levels of the company. That’s why so many of our field leaders are flight attendant qualified and many still fly when their schedules allow. We appreciate your feedback and will be sharing it with our In-Flight team. –Wendy, Talent Acquisition Team
