WestJet – “The good old culture is losing to bad new politics

WestJet Anonymous in Calgary, AB (Canada):   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

Great culture (generally), and great co-workers.

Cons

The politics and school-yard behavior are unbelievable. Don't think that your experience here will be unlike any other job. It is full of all the politics you find at any other business - and can be much worse because people shield it behind the culture. Also, you will run into lots of people who like to throw up roadblocks for their own political purposes. Similarly, they will throw you to the lions if it helps their own cause.

Advice to Senior Management

Look carefully at your Senior Management Peers, and your VP team and really look at who is and who isn't pulling their weight. Also, look at who is genuinely doing a good job, and who is simply a good politician. Performers ... Watch out for the politicians.
