The most useful review selected by Indeedgreat environment. Learned to work as a team and in a diverse culture. Management is helpful, and easy to get along with. The best thing about working here is the perks and the people and sense of accomplishment.

Horrible Training
CSR - Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) - Remote - January 28, 2023
Training for this job is bad. Lots of job responsibilities are dumped on this department and we’re never part of the job people are hired to do. Department is micromanaged however communication is lacking on all levels. Management doesn’t take criticism well and are slow to react to things that could improve overall job for employees.

flexible ….great culture …bad management
Customer Service Agent (Former Employee) - Houston, TX - January 22, 2023
Fun place to work when leadership isn’t around. Would enjoy more if Supervisors and managers were completely tossed out and start over. Great job but employees are stressed, over worked, and over leadership

Jobs at Southwest Airlines
Great and fun place to work
Flight Attendant (Current Employee) - Houston, TX - January 17, 2023
Flight attendant for 5 years, great co-workers and competitive pay scale. Long hours and lots of weekends and holidays. Initial training is brutal, as with all airlines. 401k match, and insurance. Need a contract for flight attendants and management is out of touch, but what company isn't. Tech needs an upgrade, but if you want to travel, it's not a bad place to work.

Long term flexibility
Flight Attendant (Current Employee) - Las Vegas, NV - January 13, 2023
I have been a flight attendant for 10 years, however, I am new to southwest. What I love most about working for southwest is that there is much flexibility with your schedule after your first month. If you need time off there are multiple ways to make that happen. There are no minimum hrs which means if you have kids or want to be home more you can with no penalties.

Great company
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) - Dallas, TX - January 12, 2023
great to work for all in all, SSO team completely sucks especially if your a ramp agent…they try harder to fire you than they do to help you out, management is forcing people to get signed off and they still don’t know what their doing.

Although no company is perfect, Southwest has high employee engagement and most everyone is willing to go the extra mile when need. Interdepartmental relationships are strong. 401k match is unbeatable.

Great Work Culture

Good benefits and nice coworkers. The time off is nice and the benefits package is good. The hardest part is being away from home a lot but its worth it.
