Provincial Airlines Reviews

Pros

Great salaries, always the opportunity to progress and be promoted to the ambitious individual. Very positive growth, very diverse interests and it's hard to find a strong, diverse and positive growth company in this industry. Awesome benefit from travel passes on major airlines, full medical coverage to Group matching RRSP contributions. I find them fair, amd the proper employees are rewarded by promotions etc for thier hard work and company dedication. There is no Union and never will be.

Cons

Can be some long hours, weekends and holidays...it is an airline, flies 365 days a year.

Pros

The salary is decent - but the salary the expectations are high. Medical insurance coverage is very good for Newfoundland. Pal has a fairly young workforce.

Cons

The company likes to cut corners which makes it very stressful on it employees. Most employees are unhappy in their jobs and you can feel it in the workplace which makes it uncomfortable. The company does not have a union but is in dire need of one to help bring safety back onto the floor. It is nothing for this company to expect a lot of overtime in what should be a regulated due to the nature of the work.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees: not the ones that have your ear everyday, but the real employees who are doing the work.

Pros

Salaries are higher at PAL in comparison to many other private Newfoundland companies (outside of the Energy sector). However, long hours, weekends and being on call are expected in order to earn the higher pay. For a young single person this company is a great way to get started in the airline business if you don't mind the hours and stress.

Cons

There is a lack of direction for the company and differing priorities are set frequently which makes navigating the company difficult. If an employee can stay off the radar from Senior Management, then an employee might be able to survive the high turnover that this company endures. This company expects that your first priority in your life is PAL (especially before any personal time).

Advice to Senior Management

Take more care in your employe; these people are the abassadors for your company especially to the public/your paying customers.
