Pros

Overall Delta has great culture, values, and people. At least as much as a corporation can have. Benefits are insanely good for an airline with the 401k match, good healthcare plan, and free flights. Work is interesting and you can create long lasting friendships if you choose.

Cons

They have been doing quiet layoffs for the last few years of corporate employees. They keep the numbers just low enough so they don't have to report it to the government. It's working because it has not made it to the public or news and it is never ending. So at the end of the day it's a job. Many employees are obsessed with Delta and give up long hours and seeing their families. It can be like a cult. They stay for years and decades but it is a business and they will still fire you if they need to. No matter how loyal you are. Don't be like this. Avoid Finance. Like any big company there will be bad people and teams. My team threatened to fire us if we didn't donate to the employee charity fund (this is encouraged but completely optional). In hindsight I wish I had reported it to HR. Finance is toxic and has high turnover and the lowest employee satisfaction. Heavily overworked and underpaid. They do not care about employees. They are one of the only divisions to say they care about employee wellbeing and diversity, but they just say that after getting so much feedback - but take no action or offer any support. Be careful where you join. If you are just trying to get your foot in the door you can stick out a bad team for a year or so. There are a lot of opportunities to move around internally since it's a massive company.

Pros

Awesome company to work for! Fun work environment, cares about employees, great uniforms, competitive pay, just an awesome company to work for! They are very flexible, you can live anywhere in the world you want, as long as your able to get to work when you need to be there!

Cons

At the end of the day, it is a very large corporation. So it is very easy to become just a "number" in the company. The flight attendant group is not unionized, so rules can change very often. Make sure your time management is impeccable, because you cannot be late for work AT ALL, and there aren't many acceptable excuses, even rain is not an excuse.

Thank you for your review and recommendation of Delta. We work hard every day to make Delta a great place to work; it’s nice to hear how much you enjoy our company and our work environment. Our people and our culture are our most important competitive advantages and the direct relationship we have enjoyed with our flight attendants has served our people, our customers and our company very well. To that end, we have a strong open door policy that enables any employee to go directly to a leader with any concerns, and we have hundreds of flight attendants who are actively engaged in our business, providing feedback and working on solutions for their colleagues and our customers. At Delta, a consistent, reliable operation is one of the reasons our top customers come back to fly with us time and again. That makes employee reliability – being on time, every day, for your shift or your flight – especially important. We agree that having a fundamental understanding of the flight attendant role is important for our field leaders, and we also value diversity at all levels of the company. That’s why so many of our field leaders are flight attendant qualified and many still fly when their schedules allow. We appreciate your feedback and will be sharing it with our In-Flight team. –Wendy, Talent Acquisition Team
