Cons
Delta has a long history of operating by its core values - honesty, integrity, respect, perseverance, and servant leadership. That sounds great, until its actually time to live by them. Management frequently targets employees who they don't like. They will scour the internet trying to dig up dirt on employees, who have done nothing wrong, to bring disciplinary action against the unwanted. As proof, Delta recently lost a whistle blower case where a pilot reported safety concerns and management responded by requiring the pilot to submit to a medical review where they subsequently paid a doctor (who has since lost his license to practice) $73,000 who diagnosed the pilot with bipolar disorder, a diagnosis that would permanently ground a pilot. The pilot went to the Mayo Clinic to dispute the diagnosis and a board unanimously found the pilot did not have bipolar disorder. The diagnosis cost $3200. Delta lost the judgement and is ordered to pay the pilot $500,000. All of the managers and lawyers still work here expect for one. Most have been promoted and the one who doesn't work here is now the head of the FAA. Still don't believe me. Google "Labor Dept. rules Delta discriminated against whistleblower pilot" and you will see the ruling for yourself -benefits are terrible. You will pay thousands in premiums and deductibles before Delta pays a penny. Walmart of all places has better benefits. -pay is subpar. Delta likes to talk about "Total compensation" which includes profit sharing. Well, a profit sharing of $0 doesn't pay many bills. This year for profit sharing day I was given a king sized Kit Kat candy bar -management loves to put out propoganda about how much they appreciate everything employees are doing and then turns around and throws any agreements they have made out the window. -flight benefits are great if you can find an open seat. Delta is in the business of filling airplanes which isnt helpful when you fly stand by. -they will try to outsource your job to the lowest bidder. Heavy MX checks....outsourced to Mexico and China. Regional jets.....outsourced. Gate agents, ramp agents, ticket agents and catering all over the world.....outsourced. Delta even owns some of the companies they outsource work to so they can pay employees less Overall, there is simply a lack of respect for employees. Management lacks the integrity and honesty to uphold their side of agreements. Like I said in the Pros.....the check shows up twice a month
