Delta Air Lines was an excellent company to work for with excellent pay and benefits.
Customer Service Agent (Former Employee), Chicago, Il. and Dallas, Tx. – June 10, 2013
Pros: my fellow employees, the work environment, helping passengers.
Cons: unfortunately, i was unable to attend some of my children's functions do to different shifts and days off.
I took advantage of the opportunities for advancements into management. Unfortunately, Delta downsized the hub they had in Dallas and staffing was greatly reduced.

I had chances to work many different shifts with many different days off. Some shifts started very early like 5 o'clock in the morning. I also worked evening shifts and midnight shifts, – more... too.

Of the many jobs that I worked at Delta, I enjoyed working at aircraft weight and balance. It was exciting and I was placed in a position in which, I felt, that I was in the middle of a team.

My coworkers and the management people that I was able to meet were fun to work with and I miss working with them. – less

A Great Place to Work
Cargo Agent-Ready Reserve (Current Employee), Memphis, TN – June 9, 2013
Pros: job advancement, training and flight benefits
Cons: job security
I really enjoy working at Delta. The managers and co-workers are great. Delta offers and encourages a lot of training in different departments and there is plenty of room for advancement. The best part is being able to apply to work in different cities or apply for temporary duty assignments. The only negative is that Delta is cutting the flights in – more... Memphis and laying off workers. – less

Benefits are fantastic, don't expect a good work/life balance
Customer Service Interpreter (Japanese) (Current Employee), Romulus, MI – May 26, 2013
Pros: excellent benefits, lots of overtime, get to meet people from all over the world
Cons: upward mobility is difficult, little to no work/life balance
So far, my experice in the air line industry has been a rather fufilling one. As with any job, there are days where it can be hectic, and days where there is almost nothing going on.

Typically I would be working either at the ticket counter, the gates, or international arrivals. Since my job is a customer service job, we deal with passengers from all – more... over the world on a daily basis. This provides excellent opportunities to learn many different cultures.

Once you are considered a "benefited" employee, you get some of the best benefits I've ever seen. Free standby tickets to anywhere in the US and standby tickets to anywhere Delta flys but you only have to pay the country's taxes, 401k, dental, vision, medical, life insurance, you name it.

The hardest part of this job is that since it's such a high stress jobs, you will be asked to work overtime....a lot. Thankfully, you don't have to accept it. But if you're like me and live about 20+ miles away from the airport, expect long days. Don't even get me started if there are weather or mechanical delays. There have been instances where I spent the night in the airport.

All in all, despite the hard days, I wouldn't trade this experience for anything else – less
