Pros

Travel benefits are acceptable, but given how limited alaska routes is, it is only good for the actual flight attendant as it expands to other airlines. Then for your immediate spouse and parents you still have to pay on other airlines. Hence, they would need to go to Seattle if they want to travel on alaska.

Cons

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.

Pros

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 Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles.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 The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with.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.
