Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Alaska Airlines full-time (More than a year)
Pros
They hire from within.
Job security
Fly for free.Cons
They hire from within but rarely the most qualified.
HR and recruiting leadership need an overhaul. Political, old school and micromanage.
Corporate values are lip service.
No diversity
Too many tenured employees who aren't interested in the outside worldAdvice to Management
Culture is stale and boring. Embrace the Virgin vibe.
Every people-related team is a disaster. Internal surveys have been indicating this for years."Do the right thing" and clean house in HR, Recruiting and Compensation. Bring in leadership with new ideas and are "remarkable and kind-hearted."
Embrace diversity and inclusion not just lip service.Alaska Airlines 2017-09-22 08:43 PDTHelpful (5)
