Pros

Flight benefits, flexible schedule, opportunity for internal transfers to different cities.

Cons

No union, rare overtime and run around rules in which employees can work well over 40 without overtime pay. Being forced to stay late everyday because of staffing... shadyness, from personal experience erasing personal emails i sent from a company email address in a cover up in which i was attempted to be fired before 5 years and becoming fully vested in my 401k. Not the only one with a similar story, at least in JFK... No sick days, yeah cool when the jobs requires you to work outside in freezing conditions lol, instead we are given a point system with a little room to wiggle but yeah half of the winter is blacked out now started 2016 so we are welcomed to get double points God forbid we get sick the middle of flu season lmao. Great company to customers, questionable to employees.

Pros

Working at JetBlue has a lot of benefits, especially for people who enjoy a fast-paced environment and interacting with others. One of the biggest advantages is the travel perks. Employees get standby flight benefits, which makes traveling much more affordable and gives people the opportunity to visit places they normally might not have been able to. Another major positive is the work environment and company culture. JetBlue puts a strong focus on teamwork, customer service, and treating employees with respect. Many crewmembers build close relationships with their coworkers because everyone works together during busy operations and challenging situations.

Cons

Working at JetBlue also comes with challenges, especially because the airline industry can be very demanding. One of the biggest downsides is the schedule. Many positions require working early mornings, overnight shifts, weekends, holidays, and long hours during delays or bad weather. The schedule can sometimes make it difficult to maintain work-life balance. Another challenge is dealing with stressful situations. Airport operations move very quickly, and employees often have to handle upset customers, flight delays, cancellations, or operational issues while still remaining professional and calm. During peak travel seasons, the pressure can increase significantly.
