United Airlines Employee Reviews about "benefit"

Cons

Managers were hit and miss. Mine were good but others I worked with had very poor ones. Also, bonuses are unlikely as airlines are rarely profitable in the long term.

Cons

Large company pushing political agenda nonsense wherever they can. Seems to be OK with police state treason like the TSA and not doing anything about it. OK with allowing IT workers to be perpetually second class employees with all the responsibilities and no benefits. Work can literally change with the weather.

Cons

The pay was not great especially if you were brand new but they had a pay scale that rewarded you at your 10th anniversary. Never made it though, my office in LA closed after 09/11.

Cons

Impact of fuel prices, and the overall economy that impacts our jobs - this is in the airline industry in general and not specific to just United.

Cons

Management is a mess. I'm not only saying this out of frustration, it's objectively true. Seeing as I've worked here at SFO for 5+ years, I just assumed all airport operations were this chaotic. But after talking to employees who had previously worked at other stations (such as ORD, CLE, and IAH) I found that the unanimous consensus was that United's SFO Management is truly just incompetent and refuses to heed any advice that might better operations. It also doesn't help that they frequently try to intimidate you into submission. Another worry for all of us is how the company will repeatedly try to redistribute profits away from you, the employee. The most recent example was back in March when the company tried to do away with their profit sharing program (in which $30m-$80m of the company's profits were given to the workforce per year) in order to replace it with a lottery system (which saw only a select few employees get a rather large prize, costing the company a mere $18m a year by comparison). Fortunately, our strong and immediate backlash put a stop to that change. This company may provide many opportunities, but make no mistake: United Airlines does NOT care about it's employees.

Cons

Highly unionized. There are employees that will use the union as an excuse to avoid or to do little work possible. There is a lot of people that work there that should not have a job there but the union protects them.

Cons

United does not care about their customer service representatives!!! We’re on the front line managing over sales, cancelations, weather, delays and constantly being dehumanized by customers. There’s a constant lack of adequate staffing that puts too much pressure on us to successfully succeed at our jobs. The company just treats us like a number and not a name. They’re in it fully for profit, not customer or employee satisfaction. As an employee that has been here since 2013 I can say that this USED to be a job you can be proud of. So much has gone downhill with little reason to stay on with the company. Cons- Staffing shortage. Lack of communication. Poor training. Not enough pay. Hard to get a seat on flights. Management is incompetent. No bonuses/profit sharing. No accountability for poor performance. No acknowledgment for great performance.

Cons

The benefits for employee travel seem to be less and less of a perk anymore.

Cons

There's a horrible corporate culture which promotes excessive executive compensation while doing everything they can to cut labor costs at the expense of the employee.

Cons

Same as all airlines. Weather and irregular operations make your days longer and more stressful but the benefits outweigh the bad.
