Pros

Flying benefits (if you don't mind flying standby).

Cons

Salary below market average Only 4 paid holidays (4th July, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Eve). Hard to accrue PTO, unless you have more than 5 years with the company. Old technology. There is no budget for new software or hardware. Crowded, loud office space. No paid maternity leave, unless you had signed up for short term disability. Poor health plan. Annual evaluation based on goals that are not connected to your actual projects. Due to budgetary constraints, employees are "encouraged" to take day trips between the main offices, which usually means arriving at the airport at 5AM, working an 8-hour day and coming back on a late flight, arriving home around 11PM.

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.
