Pros

Good benefits, average wages, lots of free food and other perks. I was one of the lucky ones who got hired when the company was new. They had a lot of money and spoiled us/customers rotten. Morale was great as well. Family taking care of family. I would say that compared to other airlines they are one of the best to work for/travel even with flaws.

Cons

Everything went down hill when the original CEO left. The company ran out of money, morale went down and many quit/got fired. I was #4 in seniority by year 4 which made me feel accomplished. If I hadent had an OJI I would still be there. After leaving almost everyone was laid off and went to work for Virgin. The industry is very cut throat so finding perfection is rather difficult. You really have to love working with the public to survive it and I did. I still keep in touch with former coworkers because as I said we are like family.

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.
