Pros

Great place when you first start because maybe you are infatuated with the brand, but after the initial crush wears off, you will be faced with reality. -- Great 401k match -- Interesting industry -- Starbucks is in the building if you love coffee -- Pick the right department and you might enjoy it. -- Flight benefits - but before you get too excited, see below.... -- Profit share - but before you get too excited, see below...

Cons

-- Pay is not competitive even with flight benefits if you are able to use them. Many other companies offer a bonus program or profit share. Delta is not the only one. -- Flight benefits are difficult to use and who says you can take vacation? -- Management all the way up to leaders in I.T. don't value innovative thinkers. If you are a "check box" worker with no regard to quality, you will be rewarded. -- There is rarely a place to sit, but working from home is discouraged. -- Still trying to see the "diversity" and "inclusion". -- Huge disconnect between the the CEO 's vision and the rest of the organization. Focus on the people? When and where? -- Culture is way behind other organizations

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
