Omni Air Reviews

Pros

Steady employment, interesting work, very laid-back place to work

Cons

Compensation seems to be on the low end of the scale, insurance benefits are good, but ridiculously expensive (over $500 per month for health insurance for a family). Senior management is very good, but there are too many middle managers that aren't competent, oversetimate their importance and ability, and don't hold their departments accountable for their performance. No reward for good performace.

Advice to Senior Management

Re-evalutate the hiring practices for middle management, make major changes to the health insurance package. Reward good performers with better pay or opportunities for advancement.

Pros

The senior staff seems to genuinely care for their employees.
Fair and stable employment practices.
Solid business practices ensure longevity.
Plenty of growth opportunity.
Down to earth executives.
Great leadership.

Amazing learning opportunity. A mid-market company engaging in large-market business. The range of practices and infrastructure combined with a limited staff make for an incredible learning opportunity. Stick around long enough and you're sure to get your hands into some very interesting stuff.

Cons

Salaries could be a bit more competitive (maybe it's just me).
Benefits could be a bit more competitive (good coverage over-all).

Advice to Senior Management

I'm no expert, but the limited resources thing (limited staffing) can become quite a grind at the bottom of the ladder.

Also, be wary of some attitudes in mid-management. Everyone needs to be "on-the-team". Open disillusionment from some units may hurt "on-boarding" of other staff.

Pros

free lunch once a month catered in, time off if you need it

Cons

insurance was through the roof, no vacation the first year, then just 2 weeks for 6 years basically.

Advice to Senior Management

let employees wear jeans everyday without paying money to do it. lower your insurance, give more time off.

Pros

Being able to transport our US service members

Cons

Everything, from management to scheduling, they don't care about the people who are the very face of Omni! They always say safety first but when the Flight Attendants and Pilots are so tired because of long delays and not having the proper rest! How safe can you be!

Advice to Senior Management

Get rid of your yes men

Pros

international travel to some wonderful places

Cons

gone away from home from 15 to 30 or more days per month...limited availability to commute, highly recommend moving to assigned base.

Pros

The international travel and your co-workers. The people you work with are amazing. You will get to see the world right away which is better than most other airlines who will sit you on reserve forever. However, you will never know where you're going or what you're doing very far in in advance. Also, the military are the best passengers in the world. They are so greatful and easy to get a long with. On the off chance you get a flight with "normal" passengers you will not be able to wait until you get the boys with guns back!

Cons

It interferes with your personal life. You will be gone up to twenty days a, if you get a job wit h with inflight department. Management expects alot out of thier employees, when you get little in return from them. The industry is in shambles right now, so do not expect alot of job security. Management also tends to make silly decisions based on "company needs" on whim. More often or not it doesn't work out for them. Also, I would not be totally suprised if they go out of business after the war is over, with the way they run things.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop buying planes that you can't fill.
