Delta Air Lines Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"My previous role was with Delta Air Lines. This company strives to further your potential and progress your career as much as you put into it. Although my time there was great for my career, I've always wanted to work in the Tech industry which led me to leave and devote my time to software engineering full time."

"Started working for Delta Airlines and had high expectations for the job until I got into my 5th month working there then I learned how everyone really was and why you will never get a raise unless you beg for one (found out from 4 year long workers). Pretty sad if you ask me. And at starting pay of only $8.50 is very low for this physically demanding job."

"I've been employed with Delta Air Lines since 2016. It's a great company with wonderful benefits. Your experience will largely vary upon which teams you're placed on. Seniority is king in the airline industry, so scheduling is difficult in the beginning of your career. All in all, it's a positive experience if you don't mind physical labor day in and day out."

"Good company to learn about how to work in a big global organization and also if you are in a good division, then feel like your work is valuable."

"Enjoyable, perfect for a college student, aids you in enhancing your customer service skills."

"The company has given me great experience and knowledge to better implement my skill and talent in furthering my career."

"Working for Delta has been a great learning experience. I was able to gain knowledge about the airline industry and also learn quality information on enhancing the customers' experience."

"I have worked for Delta for 2 decades in Aviation Maintenance. Never has a company treated such a large group of employees like crap as Delta does to its Maintenance staff. They took my retirement, my job at times with layoffs, they keep some employees in expensive areas in poverty, they do not respect experience and now in their most profitable time they are laying off Maintenance Controllers. Maintenance Controllers are crucial for aircraft safety. Delta maintains about 160 controllers to cover about 1000 aircraft to include Hawaiian Airlines. This is a 24/7/365 job that requires much skill and knowledge, so this places only about 25 controllers on duty at any one time. Why should this be concerning? Delta Air Lines has been running short staffed for 5+ years in Maintenance Control. This is a critical position to review work before flight, answer the call for in flight emergencies, catch errors made in maintenance and direct repair for critical issues. Take for perspective dispatchers, they are linked to the number of flights for safety. Delta's current leadership as of 2015 Maintenance Control is sufficient with workers off the street, protecting unskilled new hires and eliminating long term experienced employees for the benefit of cutting costs and making more managers. At this time Delta Maintenance Control has 6 managers, 6 coordinators who double the managers up, 2 bosses over them and 1 director. That is 15 bosses for 160 people. On any given weekday there are 5 managers on the floor for 25 workers. This is why Delta is laying off critical positions, so there can be more real management. While Maintenance Controllers are considered Managers, they are not. They are a division of experienced mechanics that provide passengers with safety. This layoff is an unsafe move and based on ignorance and greed."
