Pros

Nice staff to commiserate with

Cons

• They pretend they do not layoff people, but they have a practice of either asking people to resign, retire, or engage with HR to stress push you out of the organization. • All of the good leadership in the company is long gone. All that is left is the "B" team at this point. • Management is homegrown and resents real feedback. • Prepare to get caught up doing tasks for inexperienced and untrained managers who forgot they requested it a week later. • Their stock is a wacky rollercoaster. • Carl Icahn, famous for joining the TWA board and ruining the airline forever, now has voting seats on the JetBlue board. Based on the volatility of their stock and a string of mismanaged deals and mergers, and a slew of unqualified VPs and Directors, I expect the current state of the company is as good as it gets and likely to continue a downward trend. • JetBlue is reported to be in the bottom 5% of benefits compared to their industry competition. • When I was hired, HR told me about compensation and benefits that never materialized. (This is the first poor review of a company I have ever given, and I hope to never work at a place like this again. I highly recommend looking elsewhere or at JetBlue competitors for a stable and professional work environment.)

Pros

Working at JetBlue has a lot of benefits, especially for people who enjoy a fast-paced environment and interacting with others. One of the biggest advantages is the travel perks. Employees get standby flight benefits, which makes traveling much more affordable and gives people the opportunity to visit places they normally might not have been able to. Another major positive is the work environment and company culture. JetBlue puts a strong focus on teamwork, customer service, and treating employees with respect. Many crewmembers build close relationships with their coworkers because everyone works together during busy operations and challenging situations.

Cons

Working at JetBlue also comes with challenges, especially because the airline industry can be very demanding. One of the biggest downsides is the schedule. Many positions require working early mornings, overnight shifts, weekends, holidays, and long hours during delays or bad weather. The schedule can sometimes make it difficult to maintain work-life balance. Another challenge is dealing with stressful situations. Airport operations move very quickly, and employees often have to handle upset customers, flight delays, cancellations, or operational issues while still remaining professional and calm. During peak travel seasons, the pressure can increase significantly.
