Pros

Get the opportunity to travel, get an extra paycheck.

Cons

The workload was way too heavy for graveyard shift every night with under staffed. The work is repetitive and does cause your body to ache. There are leads do not know how to treat other workers with respect and it was abusive. Not a friendly place for people who work part time here. They treat part time ready reserves like slaves. Limited benefits for ready reserve. If you get hurt, there is no coverage for you. It does not give you the balance you need from personal life. If you are just in it for travel and pay check then it is fine. But the pay is too low for what you have to endure each day or night that you work there. You do not get paid certain holidays which is only meant for full-time positions. There is no progression in this job for moving up. That means you will be stuck as a cargo agent to toil with your lower back hurting and arms feeling broken every night and will keep doing that forever. Delta is a good company. It is just this cargo warehouse. The culture within this location is just terrible. The older guys get to relax while the new crew does everything.

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
