Pros

The food pantry in between calls, the resources that they have for benefits, the family like culture.

Cons

Pay is well below poverty level. Be prepared for a honeymoon phase, they bribe you in with the name DELTA. “You are one of a kind because you work for DELTA.“ They consistently emphasize about Delta being the BEST company, but they treat people on the bottom horrible. Honestly the entitled passengers & the terrible pay, isn’t worth it. Go somewhere else. Don’t take this job just because you want to say you work for Delta, you’ll be broke. You won’t be able to even afford vacation with the pay alone if you do get the days off to go anywhere. Hence, actually get on a standby flight.

Pros

Flight standby benefits which is quite obsolete ever since they terminated the Singapore to Japan direct service. Standby travel on Delta or participating airlines is unnerving. High risk of being stuck in foreign countries if the flight load is bad. Might have to fork out thousands of dollars to buy last minute confirm space.

Cons

Extremely reactive management style. Often solutions comes in the form of empty promises. The Singapore management have no conviction in what they can or cannot do, The pandemic has resulted in extreme overload of calls and extra responsibilities to the frontline while the management and team leads work barely change. They are not leading by example. Emphasis is still on micromanagement rather than really trying to understand pain points and provide proactive support.

Pros

Flexibility to work from home (for now) Being able to travel places for free

Cons

The longer you stay, the worse your pay will be relative to new hires. There is a general unwillingness to advance your pay once they get you through the door. If you stay around for 5+ years, undergrads with no experience will get hired at a higher salary than you. Highly political! Exhibiting a cultish mentality is required to advance your career. Two faced leadership. Empty promises of promotions. You will get strung along by your manager to do a ton of extra work then be “rewarded” by being pressured into a lateral move to a neighboring team. Overworked individual contributors have not been rewarded for their sacrifices during the pandemic. A common theme: you and your coworkers do 150% of your normal work and get paid 75% of your normal salary. Meanwhile, US tax dollars are used to pay large bonuses to General Managers and above. Delta is more worried about looking ‘woke’ than actually paying minority front line workers a decent wage. Leaders over-index on talking about social issues because they see it as a marketing tool to win business.
