What a job!
Dual City Station Operations Manager (Former Employee), Flint and Grand Rapids, Michigan – May 13, 2013
Pros: this job was never boring
Cons: i would have to say that this industry is very unstable to work in.
How exciting it is to work for an airline!
Like any other job, it has it's ups and downs.
Job advancement opportunities, travel for work and training, benefits of flying for free to lost cost flights and etc...
Downs, well cancelled flights, delayed flights, unhappy passengers re-booking passengers, labored work to load the aircraft with bags or deice – more... the plane, on-call 24/7 for operations at times and etc... – less

Hectic, fast paced environment
FLIGHT ATTENDANT (Current Employee), Denver – May 8, 2013
Pros: obviously the travel side of the job is the best, being able to see other cities and enjoy what these cities have to offer.
Cons: being away from home is always a down side.
Can be very hectic. Late flights, weather delays, mechanicals all add up to stress and frazzled nerves on both the employee side and passenger side. This can lead to very trying and demanding situations. All in a days work as a Flight Attendant.

Airline industry provides adventures everyday
Flight Attendant (Current Employee), Denver, CO – April 22, 2013
Pros: opportunity to travel
Cons: very hard to make a living on reserve flight attendant salary
I think that Frontier used to be a positive place to work. I have been able to pursue my lifelong dream on being a flight attendant and although I love being a flight attendant there is no opportunity for advancement or getting a line in the future. I have made many new friends and have been able to travel to places I have always wanted to see,

Airline losing touch with its employees
Customer Service Agent (Current Employee), Detroit, MI – April 14, 2013
Pros: great benefits for employees of the company
Cons: treating contracted employees like lesser employees.
When I first got a job off the streets with Frontier Ailines, I was so excited and pleased. They treated their employees well and made sure even part time people were taken care of. But recently, they announced that all employees in the out stationed are being outsourced. They offered us employment with the contractors they're bringing in, but we were – more... also told it's up to them.

I will admit, the station managers are wonderful and they treat their employees as family, but corporate is more concerned about money.

Many of their frequent flyers are not only boycotting the airlines, but abandoning them all together because of this. They feel someone paid $2.00 less with no benefits, no chances to advance, and really no incentive will provide poor customer service, as compared to those employeed by the company now. – less

good people, not so good pay
RSA (Current Employee), Denver, CO – April 11, 2013
Pros: outdoors, flexible schedule, mostly good people, flight benefit
Cons: outdoors, pay
Here in expensive Colorado 10/hr really doesn't cut it. But hey its a job. You do get to set your own schedule through shift trades etc. Flight benefits are good if you can get on a flight. Here in Denver is much different though since all out stations will be outsourced to duch companies as ASIG, intergrated, wfs etc. But if you enjoy getting out doors – more... and a work out lifting luggage then maybe an airline is for you. – less

Friendly work enviroment.
A&P Mechanic (Former Employee), Denver, CO – April 4, 2013
Pros: pay and benefits were good.
Cons: working for a company that has a union.
While working for Frontier Airlines, I was able to advance from a floor mechanic to a lead mechanic with times of upgrade to supervisor. The management personnel were more than willing to assist any mechanic with any problems that arose.

Pros: the pot lucks and the great things we all created for these meals.
Cons: i felt each day was just what you make it make the best of all of them.
Was a good time in the work place and the interesting people you meet on a daily basis.
Learned several new things about rules and things to assist guest with very important awarness.
the supervisors were really good to you and the team with dinners and lunches that were really great and the talks that we have had during these lunches.

Very Fast moving and ever changing, yet great co-workers
Reservations Help Desk Agent (Current Employee), Denver, CO – February 20, 2013
Pros: great co-workers, offline/ticketing/faxes time
Cons: unfair attendence policy, short lunches, difficult workday hours, inconcistant management, few vacation hours
I would say that my job here at Frontier can be overall pretty stressful. The people that I work with on the Help Desk are the greatest people I have ever met and worked with from my previous jobs. My direct supervisor is very fair and understanding, making it very hard to leave the company. Frontier is going through a tough time right now and I fear – more... for my job security. The hardest part of my job is probably keeping up with the frequent changes in policy, a lot happens in very little time in the airline business. Another difficult part of my job is honestly, dealing with management. I don't clash with management in anyway as I respect those higher up the ladder. I have been with this company for about 2 years and just recently, with new supervisors and new management, it's starting to fall into micro-managing, making it very difficult to look forward to coming into work. The most enjoyable part of my job would be working with agents directly. They call me for further assistance, any questions they can think of. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction after teaching something new to an agent, or knowing that they can go back to their passenger with a confidence. – less

– December 28, 2012

I am not currently an employee. I'm curious what the starting pay is for part time agents. Is it based on experience as well ? Also if I start out part time (i.e. St. Louis, MO), what is the chance of being able to go full time. Thank you for your time.
