Pros

Customers love Alaska, so it's nice when most people think you work somewhere awesome. Flight benefits and company discounts are unbeatable. There are lots of fun company-wide events throughout the year.

Cons

Communication and innovation within HR still suffer. Many HR and Recruitment employees aren't growth-minded, which can make for a poor environment for learning and progression. Professional development isn't as valued or supported as leaders make it seem. The big-company feel and over-reliance on corporate structure make it too easy to get trapped within your own job duties, not trusted to step outside. Workplace alliances are pervasive, and diversity of thought is only valued on the surface.

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 Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles.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 The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with.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.
