Great Airline. Would love to work there until retirement
Supervisor Airport Operations (Former Employee), O'Hare Airport Chicago, IL –
Pros: flight benefits, great pay
Cons: must stay ready for change, 24 hour a day operation, limited days off
The company is great for compensation and benefits. There is a old style culture that is deeply connected to its union. You always have to be aware of layoff's.

Pleasant camaraderie
Onboard Manager and Base Supervisor (Former Employee), Chicago and Miami Base –
Pros: travel privileges
Cons: some of the nightshifts, when flights were delayed .
The Base Manager was always available and there was all the support you needed.
The hardest part was the report writing but the most enjoyable part was the job itself and the interaction with the crew and the feeling of accomplishment and support.

Great place to work
Cruise Consultant (Former Employee), Chicago, IL –
Pros: the travel and discounts.
Cons: not having more years with ual
For myself, I had a wonderful job with United Airlines. I liked the work, the people I worked with, and getting to know the people I sold cruises too.
We were all sorry to see United close the department and merge with a major outsource group.

WORKING IN AIRLINES IS FUN, YOU NEVER GET BORED.
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee), VA –
It was fun to work with peoples/customers, along with flying benefits.
Its very responsible job. It will teach you how you can manage your in short period, and make you punctual.
It always fun when you work with co-workers when you work in friendly manners.
The hardest part of the job is when flights delayed due to weather and there is no way flt will – more...  depart, and everybody / customers has to fly. – less

A poor airline, with poor products and services.
Account Manager (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: great flight benefits
Cons: managers are micro managers, and make poor decisions.
This company makes money, sometimes, in spite of the poor decision making, and bad management styles.

Productive, fun, and educational in some way!
Ramp Agent/Ticketing Agent (Former Employee), Indianapolis, Indiana –
Pros: responsibility and help when you need it.
Cons: unorganized workplace
A typical day at work includes checking in passengers for flights, resolving their problems such as re-booking or re-routing, and then going out on the ramp to push out a plane and load the cargo bin.
I have learned a lot about traveling and other countries. I also know how to remain calm in extremely stressful situations.
My co-workers are awesome – more...  at helping out in stressful situations and filling in when we get busy in a certain location, for example if the ticket counter gets backed up a ramp agent might come upstairs to help. The hardest part of the job is remaining calm when a hundred angry people are standing in front of you wondering where they are going to sleep since their flight got cancelled (or any stressful situation). The most enjoyable part of the day is finally resolving a problem and knowing you helped a person or family get to where they are going! – less

Flight Attendant
Flight Attendant (Current Employee), San Francisco, CA –
Pros: going around the world, either working or using the benefit.
Cons: i can't think of any.
The beauty about being a Flight Attendant to me is the unexpected. You go to work and aside from knowing where you need to be and at what time that you must be there, everything else is a surprise. I will learn who will I work with, where exactly am I going and how will the weather be, when I get to the briefing room. In a normal day I will meet all – more...  kinds of people; Happy, sad, shy, extroverts, nervous, stressed, curious, delighted, interesting, normal, crazy... you name it! So in between co-workers and passengers, I must be flexible and ready for anything such a medical emergency, mechanical issues, a plain normal day or lots of fun!!!! Or all of it together and still hold a positive attitude with a smile. The hardest part of the job? It is to stay away form it. The most enjoyable to me? Is putting on my uniform, that I'm proud of it and to see someone smiling because I was able to help. – less

fun workplace and friendly enviorment
Flight attendant (Former Employee), Queens, NY –
A very friendly enviroment, hard work, but I learned that everyone has a story for where they are traveling too, my co-workers were often friendly but the biggest thing was you can work with someone one day and never work with them again for a year. the most enjoyable part of my job is traveling the world and meeting new people.
