Great to work!!!

Customer services agent

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Company genuinely cares about their employees. Pay scale is good and year end profit sharing is GREAT! Flexible schedule if you are part-time, fantastic flight privileges, tight community of co-workers and good support from management. I like non-traditional hours so that's a pro for me. Lots of career opportunities if you are willing to relocate.

Cons

Schedules are not traditional 9-5 hours, often have to work weekends and holidays. Getting a good schedule comes with seniority. Newbies may have to work early mornings or closing shift.

Gate agent/ticketing

Customer service agent (ready reserve)

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Being a gate agent is interesting work, most employees are helpful. The flight benefits are good free domestic travel, reduced cost for confirm and international travel. Delta perks are helpful. Some red coats and performance leaders are helpful. If you can avoid the drama this is a good place to work.

Cons

Salary is low for ready reserves no benefits and you have to struggle to find double partners. If you are new you get five day schedule working five days a week if you cannot trade you cannot travel. Some regular employees do not like ready reserve employees and they do not treat you good. Some red coats are high strung and do not know how to talk to employees and customers. Some performance leaders do not show as much interest as others do in retaining the new employees.
