Alaska Airlines Reviews

Pros

Travel benefits are acceptable, but given how limited alaska routes is, it is only good for the actual flight attendant as it expands to other airlines. Then for your immediate spouse and parents you still have to pay on other airlines. Hence, they would need to go to Seattle if they want to travel on alaska.

Cons

This company over the past 10 years has only gone from bad to worse. Everyone in this company is just a number that management is willing -and sometimes actively trying- to get rid of if they get expensive and replace them with much cheaper labor that -in turns- also gets hunted down once they get expensive. Cutting corners is enforced through bullying from upper management, however what's put in writing is there to protect them and allow them to wash their hands if things go publicly wrong as a result. The culture is terrible and most people are unhappy but can't leave after the amount of years they have invested in this company since seniority doesn't transfer in this career.

Pros

It still feels small enough that you can build genuine networks and relationships. There are a lot of great people who live our values and try to get things done with what they have.

Cons

Alaska Airlines has the potential to be a great to be a great company again. The care campaign is kind of insulting to frontlines. They've been caring for guests for decades, but the company fails to actually take care of employees. They throw random things at employee to say thanks, but fall short when it comes to setting us up for success. We'd rather say "we're scrappy" than say "we've got a plan and the resources to be successful".

Pros

Health insurance isn’t terrible, new planes

Cons

Management is abhorrent. I don’t think in all of my careers choices I have met people who are so out of touch with their employees. Mgmt has a hard time communicating important information to employees and we’re held responsible for all of their failures. Also, they’re very secretive and deceptive.

Pros

free flights that’s it and even that isn’t a big deal.

Cons

Low pay Slave work Company doesn’t look at you as a human and expects you to endure mental exhaustion with little pto and you have to bid for time off. Any days missed count as an occurance regardless the circumstances. The culture there is so boring compared to my new job. Little to no incentive for hard work and management plays favoritism with agents. No real career advancement opportunities. Pretty much treated like a robot. Health benefits were not that great either very expensive and strict about what it covers.

Pros

Flight Benefits, 401k Matching, Stock discount, the other flight attendants you work with make or break your trip!

Cons

- not paid for all time worked - no mental health days -New Upper management is not proactive. calling them reactive is even a stretch - new management has made its front line employees feel like “just a number”. we used to be a family and take care of each other -new management is maxing out our flying with minimum rest. not healthy for body or mind - lower pay in comparison to other airlines -Short Staffing for the last year + makes work life balance extremely difficult and should have been taken care of long ago m - increasingly difficult and aggressive passengers - contract is more benificial to company than employees and the union is weak
