Horizon Air Employer Reviews

management works you until they done with you. they have thee worst management skills ever. You work flight after flight people are always on a power trip. If I didn't need the money I would quit. best part is flying benefits. I learned that working for this company is a joke of the airline industry. hardest part of the job is not being able spend time – more...  with your family if you have one. Management doesn't care about you or what your going through but they make their personal problems important to everyone else like we are suppose to care. I hope they read this cause YOU ARE A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – less

Small company feel that cares about it's people. Great people, good health benefits, but no body works there for the pay.

A day at work consisted of organizing and planning your tasks around the schedule of flights as well as you could. Balancing the time between flights to prepare with your team was extremely critical to flight operations. This schedule was almost always changed due to the unpredictable nature of flights and weather which in turn taught me great qualities – more...  of adaptability. Our team was very diverse and it was a great privilege to lead, train, as well as learn from so many unique individuals. We were given the tools needed by management to lead and problem solve on our own as oppose to strict guidelines which was a very beneficial supplement to my growth and confidence as a leader and a team player. My job title there was not a good measure of all the many tasks that I was responsible for at my position. I enjoyed learning so much in a new field and learning qualities that would help me anywhere in life. – less

The most enjoyable part of the job was the variation in training and responsibilities. This was also the hardest part of the job - a jack of all trades but an expert in none. In the first three months I was overwhelmed with the amount of information I was learning, and the schedule could be a late night, then an early morning as a variable time employee. – more...  It wasn't the most condusive to learning well. The organization itself does have some guidelines, but the rural stations do not have the luxury of abiding by them - they are limited to how many employees they can hire so they do some juggling. It isn't the managers fault - just the structure. I stayed there a year - and we still did not have the staff for a family medical leave - my husband went in for knee replacement surgery and in December of 2011 I juggled 23 doctor appointments that month in addition to working for the station while they trained new people. They also offer incredible flight benefits - but no one had time to take them - with only one or two days off at a time.... Just disorganization. My friends in the Skywest station at the same airport start off with three days off in a row after the first 30 days to guarantee the employees get to experience the travel and flights they promised. I was disappointed in the time I spent with Horizon, but appreciate the training that is under my belt and can be utilized with a future job with another airline. – less
