Pros

Great 401K Some conveniences like on-site gym Many great leaders in the company Company as a whole is trying to get better (but it has a long way to go) There are some very smart people in the company Financially successful and thus great profit sharing

Cons

Minimal vacation time for many years Flight benefits are completely overrated; be prepared to buy tickets almost exclusively if you work in corporate In corporate, expect your job to change every 6 to 12 months; and not where you want it to go. No work-life balance in any of these departments (and probably more: Revenue Management, Marketing, SkyMiles, Finance Some leaders have no people or team skills; expect to feel like you have no life and they will block your career moves internally. Healthcare is very expensive. Expect a family plan deductible of at least $2500 or much higher. Promotions have slowed down considerably in the past two years for many. Don't expect any team building, orientation, or training if you are in corporate. Overall the company has some good policies like work-life balance but most departments opt-out. Expect to work your heart out with no reward or recognition for it.

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
