I applied for the position - I got a call the very next day - they said for me to look for an email - then there was a video interview - it was about 2 weeks before I had heard anything - then a lady from WA called me and asked me to go and take a pee test - also alaska does a tabbaco test - they will not hire anyone who smokes...they don't want to give the extra smoke break. After they sent me to the drug test they sent me some documents to fill out for the background test - the background company was the worst. They called 4 times for the same information - even after I was hired and working at alaska airlines, the background company kept calling - finally I told them I wasn't sending any more docmentation they needed to stop calling me because I already was hired. Once your are hired - there are several tests you must pass or they will let you go. After passing all tests they send you on the floor - the employee retention is not that good. For the last three classes out of 100 employees maybe 20 people are left. Managers are the worst.
