Pros

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of Alaska Airlines. As I approach my three‑month mark, I can confidently say it’s been a truly wonderful experience so far. From the onboarding process to ramping up in my role, every step has been thoughtful, supportive, and seamless. I genuinely appreciate how well Alaska takes care of its employees—it makes all the difference.

Cons

This isn’t really a con, but if you’re new to the airline industry, there’s definitely a lot to learn—especially when it comes to the acronyms and industry‑specific terminology. It can feel overwhelming at first, simply because everything is so new. That said, the team has been incredibly supportive, patient, and always willing to help, which makes the learning curve much more manageable.

Pros

Seattle is a nice city when it's not raining. Some hardworking analysts

Cons

Managers are out of touch with reality after the Hawaiian merger. Constant focus on AI is bewilderment since most management can barely use Excel to its full potential. Analysts are expected to fulfill the vision of management who with are outdated in their skill set and too proud to listen to those more qualified.
