NetJets Reviews

Pros

Best in the industry, fast paced, good learning opportunities, good benefits, constant change

Cons

lack of sharing information, some silo-culture

Pros

Plenty of time off if you pick the right schedule. Good people to work with. Wish I was still there

Cons

Economic times led to the down sizing of many divisions in the company. Work work with less employees. Time will tell.

Advice to Senior Management

Build the company back to the thriving company of bright shiny planes it should be. Don't let the economy bring it down.

Pros

For a pilot, schedule, schedule, and also schedule. Seven days on and seven days off with vacations of twenty-one straight days off is UNHEARD OF in the corporate flying world. Great aircraft, widely varying destinations and interesting passengers.

Cons

Horrible relationship between new management and the pilots union (plenty of blame on BOTH sides for that), inadequate and directionless Owner Services department fumbling way too many situations that crew members have to fix, obsessive focus on nickels and dimes when tens of thousands are walking out the door in lost business and company created inefficiencies.

Advice to Senior Management

Find a charismatic LEADER that will clearly articulate the goals of the company, what is expected from each employee, and what tools they will be given to meet those expectations. Completely revamp Owner Services and Crew Scheduling with far more participation and input from flight crews, flight attendants, and station reps and less control by the accountants.

Pros

Its a dynamic career unlike any other. Great pilots, flying, and experiences. Fantastic customers.

Cons

The current relationship between management and pilot group is adversarial. Long days on the road can compound fatigue and affect quality of life at work from time to time.

Advice to Senior Management

Lead by example and open up communications with employees.

Pros

Good people, cool industry, new technology,

The company is very fast paced and everyone working there wants the company to succeed.

Cons

Sr. Management is disconnected and lack vision. Expectations of 60hr plus a week, the pay and benefits were not competitive.

Advice to Senior Management

Executive Management has been doing a lot of good work to improve the company. Mr. Sokol was a great addition to NetJets. However, the legacy sr. management team needs rethought.

Pros

You're close to Easton and great places to eat for lunch but beyond that, it's a horrible place to work for in the IT and QA departments

Cons

No industry relevant training opportunities provided, Poor communication from Sr. Mgmt and team lead levels, No employee appreciation expressed, team leads treat team members like children.

Advice to Senior Management

Get a new job someplace else and let some new leadership come in that can bring back some humanity into the company.

Pros

Prestigious company around the world

Cons

Lack of communication and respect for non-union employees

Advice to Senior Management

Treat employees the way Mr. Santulli used to return to a friendly, team corporate environment.

Pros

Good salary taking in consideration other companys operating in Portugal.
Good benefits package.
Challenging job

Cons

Bad communications between departments. Everybody is always triyng to "point the finger" to somebody when an error occured. Nobody, with fear of the Higher Management, tries to understand the nature of the errors.
The last collective dismissal of 100 employes due to the economic crises was a big shame.
Very commited employees where dismissed without a proper reason when comparing with others that stayed and had minor performance and poor evaluations.

Advice to Senior Management

If the company has a good performance management system you should make him effective and you can track who is working and who isn't. If that is done you will be fair to the the people that are commited and work real hard to make the company growth.
Without that the Netjets cornerstone "Hiring and developing spectacular people" is nothing less but a big lie!

Pros

There are individuals that will do everything they can to help you in your professional growth. There are a great number of hardworking people there and really push to make NetJets #1 in fractional airline ownership.

Cons

Since Santulli left there is no mistaking this is a business. The family feeling hs as they say"left the building" However profitability is up which is great! In some recent written communication it was mad abundantly clear that bad mouthing the leadership will not be tolerated and if discovered that individual would receive the full wrath they can administer. So in closing I would like to say "I will sell my family to gypsies and my dog to Micheal Vick if it brings the company profit!

Advice to Senior Management

Just a thought, less threats more action to make an employee feel like their hard work is recognized.

Pros

Prior to the economic meltdown in 2008 NetJets Internatinal was a great place to work. Compensation was good, benefits were excellent (401K - 50% match up to 15%, Tuition reimbursement, full health, dental, and vision coverage), and PTO was easy to utilize.

Cons

Since 2008, union negotiations left all non union members high and dry (relatively speaking). 401k matching was halted, tuition reimbursement was terminated, annual raises were not issued, and we had to start paying for health dental and vision.

Company culture is relaxed (casual / bus. casual attire, and condensed work week for operations positions) and almost family like, but there has alwaysbeen favoritism to the recently (and partially unwillingly) unionized pilots.

Advice to Senior Management

With the recent management change in our global headquarters we have definately seen processes streamlined, but they need to stop hiring management solely from the flight deck. I am not sure anyone in management at the Okatie, SC office has a masters level education.
