Started at reservations 30+ years ago, now I'm working at airport. First of all, I truly could not have asked for a more caring crew and company.
When my families home burnt down, my Alaska Airlines family got together with donations of money, food, clothing, and Christmas presents for my 3 boys. I don't think I'll ever leave.
A lot of work from home opportunities available.
Opportunity to travel
Cons
Can't be a smoker
Some may see this as a con, I do not, but some may.
It will take a long long time before you have seniority if you're in the Phoenix area.

We think our people are pretty special too! Shout out to our PHX employees! - David
Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.
Cons
Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
