RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Alaska Airlines part-time for more than 20 years
Pros
Started at reservations 30+ years ago, now I'm working at airport. First of all, I truly could not have asked for a more caring crew and company. When my families home burnt down, my Alaska Airlines family got together with donations of money, food, clothing, and Christmas presents for my 3 boys. I don't think I'll ever leave. A lot of work from home opportunities available. Opportunity to travel
Cons
Can't be a smoker Some may see this as a con, I do not, but some may. It will take a long long time before you have seniority if you're in the Phoenix area.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Alaska Airlines full-time for more than 2 years
Pros
Flight Benefits and 401k to match
Cons
Mandatory overtime, will max you out on 14-16 hour shifts and expect you at work the next day with 8 hour rest, does not take into account a lot of employees commute and live 1.5+ hours away (one way), Alask does not seem like a company that cares about happy employees and good work environment. They care about meeting numbers and customer loyalty rather than company culture, taking care of employees which I 100% believe...

Pros
Travel benefits Decent benefits and bonus plans Mostly nice people all around People in or close to the operations are generally taken care of Strong IT and ecommerce teams The new building soon Most people love Alaska so it's fun to say you work here We try hard to be loved
Cons
Airline industry prone to layoffs Salaries are generally lower than average 24/7 operations is hard for some people Execs are competent managers but uninspiring leaders, like what they say and what they do are often two different things which makes it ok for their direct reports to do the same Lots of old timers with limited view on best practices or outdated management techniques Lots of underqualified managers who are...

Listen to the professional staff level people but this time do something about it. Follow through. Get rid of a layer of management and add more people to the bottom. Give managers ongoing leadership training because they need it especially the ones who are just good at managing up.
