United Airlines reviews

The benefits are not as good as Delta's.

Standby travel...Beware. It's not the "sell" they want it to be but it's still a pretty cool perk. They use smaller planes that normally oversell. Most employees buy tickets anyway so they can get home. They have too many layover stops in their overly crowded hub locations (ORD, LAX, SFO, DEN, IAH, IAD & EWR). Management is trying to change direction and using workforce reductions to clean house. Technology company that flies planes lack technological forward advances. They have obsolete equipment and their managers are more worried about their office locations and where people sit and who's who, then getting the job done. People don't respond to emails. It's a relationship based environment where emails are ignored if names aren't recognized. Once management likes you, then they'll respond to your emails. Systems do not talk to each other. They have more contractors employed with the company than employees. They have contractors employed with the company for greater than 5 years! Internal movement is nonexistent. I saw one person move to a new position in two years.
