Its a very flexible job
Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) – Sterling, VA – February 14, 2019
United Airlines is a really good opportunity if you like working with people face to face. You have to be a patient individual with a very flexible schedule as you bid every 6 months and don't have a typical 9-5 job. This is good for people who don't have any responsibilities but can be bad in the beginning for people who have families to look after. As you build seniority and familiarize yourself with other coworkers and their schedules you can however find that this job can be extremely flexible.
Pros
flexible hours, pay raises on your anniversary with the company and on 1st of december, great work life balance and great management for the most part
Cons
the union, you may work more than people who hold seniority, sometimes you have to be at work for mandatory overtime, if theres any sort of weather and flights are delayed or cancelled you have to be at work, most customers don't respect or treat you well, you have to get used to people feeling entitled to every little amenity
Exciting

Pros

Cons
Pay rates
Nice Company; Extremely Demanding
Ramp Agent/Baggage -Temporary, Part-Time (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – August 21, 2019
Good company; however, they provided 5 weeks of training which is extremely intense and they expected you to perform all duties effectively with no guidance. Very demanding; like being in the military.
Productive workplace
DevOps Engineer (Current Employee) – Chicago, IL – August 21, 2019
I learnt a lots of things over there. Initially it was hard to cope up, but as the time passed by it became easier. The people working over there are from multi-culture and fun to work with.
If only giving no star were an option...
Ramp Agent (Former Employee) – San Francisco, CA – August 21, 2019
The whole experience was horrendous. The immaturity level in the workplace was worse than in high school. The hiring process took up to 6 months, if you are counting from the in-person interview to official start date. That should have spoke VOLUMES all by itself.
Unorganized, unprofessional and sheer complacency are the main reasons why the company is constantly hiring with barely any retention in the management positions- let alone the ramp.

Great for travelling, but horrible for pay
Bilingual Flight Attendant (Cantonese/Mandarin) (Former Employee) – Houston, TX – August 18, 2019
It was both the easiest and hardest job, because the pay was honestly very hard to live with. If you include the fact that we are provided with hotels during our layovers, our pay is phenomenal... but that's not really something we can cash out and pay for the bills with. As a reserve flight attendant, we had almost no control over our schedules during busy seasons, and it meant missing weddings, funerals, etc. I personally viewed my time as a flight attendant as a discounted long-term vacation, but after 2.5 years, it almost dried out my savings account, without any financial gain.

Baggage Handler/Ramp Operator (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – August 17, 2019
The environment at united airlines was enjoyable however, there were individuals that broke rules and had a negative attitude. A lot of the time you can tell who is in the good o'boy system, a lot of employees with seniority will throw it in your face and some management personal were questionable due to their actions.
Do all you can come to work on time. United is devoted to accuratices
Help Desk Specialist (Former Employee) – Elk Grove Village, IL – August 16, 2019
United Airlines is really changing it’s culture and getting rid of the old processes and bringing in GREAT talent and also more time in moving up. The people at united strive to find out what motivates the individual and taking them beyond their ability to succeed.
a great work place
Customer Service Rep (Current Employee) – San Francisco, CA – August 13, 2019
A great place to work if you like a fast paced environment. Their is a lot of different places to work like baggage, gates or just lo Amazing benefits if you like to travel.
A great job for the most part
Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – August 12, 2019
You have no life because this airline is prone to delays and has 7762 regional carriers flying under their name. Management is the same from before the Continental merger. They will stab you in the back.
Uneducated management
Flight Attendant (Former Employee) – Denver, CO – August 10, 2019
There is no consistency. Everyone is on their own agenda. It’s worse then highschool drama and all.
Plus you miss all the important events with loved ones and forget about ever having a holiday or weekend off

Diversity is key.

Technical writer
Technical Writer (Current Employee) – Houston, TX – August 9, 2019
I work in the technical library. I handle customer service requests, such as drawings, engineering documents, manuals. Our department is fast-passed due to demands of the field. I handle putting manuals on our intranet using html.
