Air France-KLM Reviews

Pros

its a great company with a great product

Cons

organisation is slow and old

Advice to Senior Management

get in some young people

Pros

Great benefits package: medical, dental, vision. The company matches up to 6% in 401K plan. Travel benefits. 2 weeks paid vacation. Nice uniforms. Opportunities to work overtime.

Cons

Changing shifts and days off, if you like a set work schedule. Work 6 days in a row, with no overtime pay, once a month. No real career advancement, or it would take a very long time. Plane cancellations or delays (the process is disorganized). Management doesn't treat employees with respect. Pay is low with low raises. No buddy passes like other airline companies. Travel benefits are more expensive than other airline companies.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer more positive reinforcement to employees. Treat employees with respect to help increase employee morale. Pay higher wages. Lower the cost of travel benefits.

lousy HR practices
very average salaries
