Alaska Air – “Alaska Airlines is a great company to work for!”
Pros
There is a ton of oppurtunity for growth/ upward mobility, if you choose to make Alaska Airlines a career. We have awesome bonuses , share profiting, and flight benefits. If you ever want to try a new job Alaska encourges you to go for it! If you don't like it, then you have three months to return to your previous position. You also get to meet a lot of different people, depending on what department you work in. Alaska is all about promoting from within the company and they love deidicated and passionate people who really want to be here.
Cons
Raises can be hard to come by if you are in a management position. Contracted positions get raises automatically. Also, if you are in a contracted position you are under a union which makes the incompetent, lazy people impossible to fire. Bill Ayer, the CEO loves to send e-mails about the financial position that the company is in to scare people into thinking that they are going to lose their jobs.
Advice to Senior Management
Good Job!

And you say "Good Job?" Bill would make a perfect underling for a real CEO. Bill has no ethics or leadership attributes. His only care is the bottom line. Caring about the bottom line is fine but an effective CEO needs to care about a lot of other things also and he falls far short of that. In fact, while our company, according to Greg Saretsky is undergoing its most profound change since its creation...and not all in a good way, where is Bill? Has anyone seen or heard from BIll? It is like the "Where is Waldo" game. He seems too busy merging Puget Sound Energy and Puget Sound Works together to run this company. He lets his midget minion Saretsky run it to all our detriment.
