Pros
-Unlimited travel to any Delta destination. This was my favorite although I found it very challenging during summer and holidays. -Employees: My other favorite:) I love the energy they bring day in and day out. They are driven and will get the job done. The employees made my experience with Delta worth while. I have met some lifetime friends there. Love them. -Early Out: On slow days or nights, a sign up sheet is posted in the break room for those who would like to volunteer to get out early from work. -Diversity: Meeting, working and having the pleasure of getting to know people from different backgrounds. -Employee Appreciation Day: It happens once or twice a year, but employees are ever so grateful for them. -Holidays: If you're scheduled to work on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year away from your family and loved ones, you can count on having your Delta family celebrating with you at work. Ongoing pot luck every holiday. -Birthday cake every month: A huge cake is ordered every month for all birthday within that month.
Cons
-Management: Needs major improvement as some Performance Leaders have absolutely no sense of direction and would have to ask other management for help on daily operation issues. This has happened more than necessary. Also management will pick and choose who they want to promote regardless of your hard work. -Pay: The pay as a Ready Reserve max out at $11.75 regardless of how many years you've been employed with Delta (I was employed with Delta for 6 years) This is because you max out after 2 years. My fellow co workers who were hired 2 years after me were making the same hourly wage I was making. -Lack of hands on training: From time to time, you'll run into a co worker who has been scheduled to meet or work a flight whom has never been trained to drive a jet bridge or even open an aircraft door. I have been asked too many times for favors to swap schedules with a co worker as they have not been fully trained... mind you, my new friend and I are making the same amount of dough.
