Is this your company?

Pros

The main reason would be the flight benefits for you and your family. Depending the group, co-workers (on your level) tend to be great to work with. They really become your family and begin to feel like you are are working for a common goal. Since most of the workers are from the "old-school" Delta world, they are quick to lend a helping hand. When the company was a little more flexible with spending, there use to be great team activities such as outings to hockey games, picnics, etc.

Cons

(Note I worked for the .com team ) You will be really overworked. I mean there is a lot of work and for whatever reason the company will fight tooth and nails not to hire full time employees opting to hire contract workers. Though this helps the bottom line, just think about having a new person project having to learn not only the project and their job but the culture of the company. Discussing the amount of work with the company will result in a nice write-up on your review about poor time management. So most workers just keep on taking on more and more crazy workloads. It is not uncommon to work 4 nights a week and Sunday evenings. Workers are so scared of losing their jobs that they take on the extra work because of the constant cloud of job loss hovering over their heads. This again leads to sloppy work are products are pushed to meet deadlines rather than great work. So you will notice products released to the public with many bugs to be fixed at a later date, the terms "first impression..." gets thrown out the window.

Pros

Awesome company to work for! Fun work environment, cares about employees, great uniforms, competitive pay, just an awesome company to work for! They are very flexible, you can live anywhere in the world you want, as long as your able to get to work when you need to be there!

Cons

At the end of the day, it is a very large corporation. So it is very easy to become just a "number" in the company. The flight attendant group is not unionized, so rules can change very often. Make sure your time management is impeccable, because you cannot be late for work AT ALL, and there aren't many acceptable excuses, even rain is not an excuse.

Thank you for your review and recommendation of Delta. We work hard every day to make Delta a great place to work; it’s nice to hear how much you enjoy our company and our work environment. Our people and our culture are our most important competitive advantages and the direct relationship we have enjoyed with our flight attendants has served our people, our customers and our company very well. To that end, we have a strong open door policy that enables any employee to go directly to a leader with any concerns, and we have hundreds of flight attendants who are actively engaged in our business, providing feedback and working on solutions for their colleagues and our customers. At Delta, a consistent, reliable operation is one of the reasons our top customers come back to fly with us time and again. That makes employee reliability – being on time, every day, for your shift or your flight – especially important. We agree that having a fundamental understanding of the flight attendant role is important for our field leaders, and we also value diversity at all levels of the company. That’s why so many of our field leaders are flight attendant qualified and many still fly when their schedules allow. We appreciate your feedback and will be sharing it with our In-Flight team. –Wendy, Talent Acquisition Team
