Alaska Airlines reviews

They just took away a week of vacation from management, which typically means the labor groups are next. Never heard of a company making amazing profits and numerous awards taking away vacation from its employees. How does that make sense? Employees are seeing this as greedy. Their communication to employees about change is horrible and HR comments are often insensitive. Pay is low compared to same jobs at other companies. HR admits they use national averages for their wage comparisons, knowing that's not what we are competing against and the areas we operate have far higher average wages. New employees with less experience in a role can make just as much as those with far more experience and have been at the company for several years. Essentially, you are rewarded for being new and not for being committed.

This company over the past 10 years has only gone from bad to worse. Everyone in this company is just a number that management is willing -and sometimes actively trying- to get rid of if they get expensive and replace them with much cheaper labor that -in turns- also gets hunted down once they get expensive. Cutting corners is enforced through bullying from upper management, however what's put in writing is there to protect them and allow them to wash their hands if things go publicly wrong as a result. The culture is terrible and most people are unhappy but can't leave after the amount of years they have invested in this company since seniority doesn't transfer in this career.
