Advice to Senior Management

r.a.i.s.e. have a growth plan for worker so they see a light at the end of hte tunnel

Pros

Travel for free with loved ones, friends, and family.

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. They dont care about your health.

Pros

Excellent organization. HR is very helpful and accessible. Training is good and thorough. Physical requirements are intense but not limiting. Trust is huge and precision is demanded at every corner. Expect constant supervision by the excellent staff and constant evaluation at every task performed. Lots of overtime is available and flight benefits are the best in the airline industry. The staff is an assembly of Latin, Caribbean and Gringo. They are mainly friendly, energetic and helpful.

Cons

If you are not able to stay quick on your feet and enjoy daily assessment from a crew of nearly 100 then you may feel overwhelmed. The company trainers gave us the best actions to performing our tasks, if you can't stand up for what you learned in training (the acceptable method) then you may feel pressure from the ding bats. That being said, we already know that there are wise and otherwise in every class. The people quit at an unusual rate, e.g. our last class lost half in one month. I can't say if it was caused by physical or emotional failings. I can only believe that true aviation enthusiasts will have no trouble enjoying the Spirit airline Ultra Low Cost Carrier culture.

Advice to Senior Management

Your best trainers are like gold. Use them to improve safety and give them as much time as allowed to do more thorough OJT and evaluations with the newbies. Recurrent training with existing Rampers might prevent workman comp claims from arising and will reinforce our practice of continuous improvement.

Pros

Safety department is top notch.

Cons

no sense of community among the employees/management. however there is a shared sense of 'were all in this hell hole together' mentality. Mgt cuts every corner and employees suffer from it.

Advice to Senior Management

listen to your employees!

Pros

the travel benefits you get

Cons

you can never fly on your own airline

Advice to Senior Management

talk to your people

Pros

Hard working teams. Great benefits.

Cons

Doesn't allow for a reasonable work / life balance.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't go public. Visit sec.gov and really read what's in the filings. I would not invest.

Pros

believe that was a company with big future and positions to grew up. But things are very unusual over there

Cons

People and supervisors don't care about you, they don't help you, they don't try to be honest with you and a lot more

Advice to Senior Management

They have to honor the people who work over there and they have to give security and benefits in flights

Pros

Meeting cool people and the rare celebrity (or reality star), and great co-workers, besides that can't think of anything else.

Cons

Very disorganized, Supervisor would blame employees to save his/her job and get them fired. Uncomfortable work enviornment, too many mechanical problems and downgraded aircraft, unrealistic goals for us to follow (no delays during an IROP, good luck!) Very gloomy atmosphere, pay is way too low for the stress, long days, sometimes working without sleep. Have to wait 3 months to get flight benefits

Advice to Senior Management

If you weren't firing people every single week for a delayed flight, we would be relaxed. Focus on customer service and the company's reputation would improve, forget on time departure in an airport that simply ain't going to happen on some days and be nice to your employees, most of them either get fired or quit. Change some of those ridiculous rules you have in the company, and last of all, give those poor workers off when they want off (but then again that goes back to not firing people every single week)

Pros

The flight benefits and that you can swap your shifts and days off

Cons

bad management, no union environment,

Advice to Senior Management

need to create a more stable work environment

Pros

Potential for growth and promotion

Cons

Flying benefits should be improved. More buddy passes should be given

Advice to Senior Management

Better pay or more paid days off
