Pros

Wouldn't have lasted so long without the relationships I developed. Made forever friends at JetBlue. The culture is great. Awesome flight benefits when you get to use them.

Cons

The political nonsense that goes on in Long Island City is terrible. Even if you work your butt off, if you're not part of the "in" crowd, you won't grow with the company. After a while that stuff can really start to get to you and then you gotta roll out cause you're worth more than that. Or, you stick around because of comfort and hope..lol If you kiss the right behind you'll get promoted. Compensation is low compared to the rest of the industry.

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.
