Pros

Flexibility does start to get better w time and for winter months you can work as little as 5 days a month bc people will pick up your shifts. But expect to work every holiday and many weekends for a longggg time. Pay is pretty good for how incredibly easy the job is. Flight benefits are amazing and literally the only reason I’m still here.

Cons

It’s nice if you want to fly under the radar but management is insanely difficult to get in touch with if you do need something. There are so many departments in the company that we as internal customers get treated like crap and no one seems to be on the same page. You will work weekends every single weekend. You will work every single holiday. The job is stressful in a way of never being in control and getting rerouted at the mercy of scheduling. But it’s so freaking easy and repetitive that you can feel yourself getting dumber by the minute. Same issues as any customer service job as far as dealing with passengers. Also it’s not glamorous and you will spent majority of your layovers in an airport hotel with about 12 hours to rest and that’s it. Also it will do weird things to your body and health. Also the sick policy is extremely old school and not flexible. We get 3 sick call outs in a rolling year. And they will threaten you if you have 2 and/ or are ever late.

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
