Delta is a great company to learn and grow within.

Pros

close community of employees who genuinely strive to keep relationships one of the most sacredly held commitments

Cons

It is the airline industry and very much treated as a commodity. We have not figured out a way to stand out from the crowd and differentiate the company from others. The work/life balance is not good the further up the management chain one travels and the compensation and satisfaction of a job well done is not comensatory with the hours.

Despite the myriad of world turbulence, Delta leads through with employees first.

Pros

Delta has seen us through the revolutionary change in the airline industry with top of the line communication and leadership to make tough changes with compassion. In the end we come out the largest airline poised for success and strong enough to endure fuel prices, finance crisis, and passenger demand. Our flexible work rules, schedules and pay options keep me on the ground or up in the air on rather nicely negotiated terms and management continues to provide the things I need to get my job done, admits their mistakes and genuinely attempts to do their best, as long as I do my best.

Cons

The flexibility I spoke of before also leads to schedules, work rules and job security that tends to flex as well. I have to keep in motion as much as the airline must keep in motion and sometimes that leads to levels of insecurity not many choose to deal with. I have to trust in my leadership they see a bigger picture than what I can. If you travel 3000 miles by car, you'll run into traffic, weather and road issues. The same goes for flying but at a much faster pace. I have to keep that in mind that detours on many factors are necessary, just as they are in many businesses.

Pros

Meeting new people, Visitting New places, Great travel benefits(when seats are available), Good health benefit and a great opportunities and venues for career advancements. that is offcourse provided you know what do u want and you set clear goals to yourself.

Cons

Having to deal with people ( flight attendants ) that have been there for ages that are not welling to evolve, love or care about what they do and taking there job for granted that said please understand that not all senior flight attendants are like that but the majority of them are.
