Pros
You get to be a part of United, flight benefits, and the location of the training center is great!
Cons
The training scheduling department is not where you want to start. For a company that is advancing in so many ways and truly starting to understand that work culture is not what it used to be this department specifically is not that. It doesn’t feel like other departments I’ve worked in throughout United and really doesn’t feel like it’s part of United at all. The employees here are not happy and are not listened to. Middle management does their best with what they have but are continually shut down by our upper management. It’s a general consensus that you come here to move to different departments. You can have tenure with United and still be placed at the bottom of the barrel in this department. The management team suspiciously lacks diversity.
