Pros

Visionary leadership. Great teamwork. Incredible market opportunity to revolutionize private aviation. Building out great industry leading app. Kenny is a great leader but he needs to spend quality one-on-one time listening to the challenges of folks in the trenches.

Cons

Grossly underpaid and overworked. Working 18 hour days with not enough time to totally unplug is burning the team out, and will impact customer satisfaction and client retention.

Pros

The best things you will get from this company is the amazing coworkers and the ability to use your position as a stepping stone to success with other companies

Cons

I worked for wheels up prior to the opening of the Operation Center in Atlanta and even before all the merger with Delta private jets. This company is not what it used to be. Management used to care about its employees and would do anything necessary to help them out as long as the work didn't suffer. Once Delta stepped in, it became a toxic corporate machine. I highly recommend that if you have any medical issues, then stay far away from this place because they will do everything they can to not help accommodate. And beware if they do give you an accommodation, they will find any way they can to get rid of you. Save yourself some mental torture and work for a different private jet company

Pros

Highest pay in the game Very flexible Awesome Employees Onboarding was thorough If they give you stock as part of comp, it can only go up at this point :P

Cons

-Most of the company is managed by Excel Spreadsheet (chaotic, but they don't deny it) -C-Level Talent Acquisition Mgt is hyper-insecure and generally lacking focus. -Witnessed them attempt to publicly undermine someone in meetings they obviously wanted to push out -They're discharging valuable employees trying to become profitable(doesn't appear to be working) -Just adopted some woke hiring policies
