Pros
- Upbeat culture - Flight benefits - People who work here love to travel, so there is lots to talk about if you like to travel too - Aesthetically pleasing office in Long Island City - Opportunity to travel - Able to move laterally within the company (but see cons below)
Kontras
Overall it feels like JetBlue is resting on its laurels of once being a great employer. It is still a good place to work for a few years especially in a junior role, but I would not recommend staying longer than that or for a higher level senior role. - Pay is not competitive, and management is aware of this, states that they do this on purpose to recruit people who really want to be here - Does not empower women. No paid maternity leave, and little to no female executives. - Recently very bureaucratic - CEO and execs overly involved with projects and day to day work. Employees waste time achieving sign off from many people in order to move forward on projects. - Little to no professional growth (promotions) - Have seen a few corporate employees end up leaving before promotions. History of passing internal candidates up for promotions - Hypocritical when it comes to values. Examples: Safety - the office in Queens is located outside of a 7 lane highway that employees need to cross with no crossing guard. Caring, Integrity - no paid maternity leave. - Only corporate holidays are New Years Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas
