Pros

Being able to travel the world for free or at a discounted rate Executives seem to take into account their employees experiences Job is fairly simple to perform Offers compensation to purchase uniforms ($150 annually) When the company makes a profit, everyone gets their share Amazing events for various causes at hub stations and headquarters

Cons

Local management lacks innovation and motivation Local management uses micromanagement Local leadership doesn't train or foster career growth and development equally Lacks some work/personal life balance Limited flexibility Workplace gossip is rampant Favoritism on a local level is common Appearance is a sizable part of how you advance All Ready Reserves are paid the same amount It doesn't matter how long you've been with the company To retire with flight benefits as a Ready Reserve, you must work for 25 years as a Ready Reserve or 10 years if you are 52 years of age or older No health insurance

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.

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
