Alaska Airlines reviews

Horrible pay (been there for about a decade and still struggling to pay my bills - had to get a second job in order to make ends meet). Management send emails with a condescending and gaslighting tone. They basically want their flight attendants to show up early and work for free without paying us, but yet will penalize us if we show up even a minute late (even if the flight is delayed - they will only give you a grace period on check in time if the flight is delayed for an hour or more.) We still continue to do right by our passengers, because it’s not their fault, but many flight attendants are burnt out and this will ultimately affect the customer service if something doesn’t change. If you are considering an FA position, honestly go to SWA or Delta & get a living wage.

The pay is very bad, and the culture is not much better, although diversity is a big theme at the company, and they walk the walk. They also don't seem to value their employees, and we watch as they single out employees and treat them with an over management style that appears to be an attempt to make you want to quit. We have seen it time and time again. I believe in unions, but I don't think the one representing the Alaska employees is effective at ALL! Back to the pay. You have to work 60-plus hours a week just to make enough to pay your rent in Seattle and the extra hours you get by picking up shifts from co-works. It is not overtime pay, it is straight-time, nothing more. SeaTac recently increased the minimum wage, but Alaska lobbied and won to keep their pay below the new minimum wage. Would I recommend a job at Alaska? No, McDonald's pays more than Alaska, and I can only guess that it is a lot less stressful.
