Pros

If you hate a 9-5 and working from a cubicle I say this is the job for you! Coming from someone that's done it, it's definitely refreshing. However, I will say Covid has affected the way I feel about this job. Overall, the aviation industry has taken a hit as a whole which the world has been able to see through the news and social media. With all of this being said, I used to look forward going to work and getting to explore a new city or country but now all I hope for when I step on a plane is to get home without being screamed at or a black eye. The benefits are great and the culture is a very family oriented one, the pay can use some work but it's still competitive to other airlines. Covid is slowly becoming something we're all learning to live with because it doesnt seem to be going away any time soon so I will say that I do have hope things will slowly normalize and passengers will have a less aggressive demeanor towards all staff. Once federal mandates get flexible and airfare rises back up again I would say its worth the shot on joining the team. Pros- flight benefits, discounted/free perks with partnering companies, health benefits, good retirement plan, profit sharing bonuses

Cons

inconsistent & hard/unflexible schedule as a junior in the company, emotionally draining, long work days

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
