Pros

This is hard to fill out. If you asked me this question 10 years ago I would have said it is a wonderful employer. Yes you work hard and sacrifice a lot but the salary is compensation for that. However now the managment believe that employees should be grateful to work for British Airways and don't see why you should be compensated for a job that is hard on your body and hard on those around you. British Airways managment even believe as an employee you should be happy to work for free managment bullying employees to support the company on days off as when it comes to reapplying for you job your chances will be stronger. The company managment have no ethics and think as much about there employees as they do their passengers. The £$ are all that matter!

Cons

Don't value their people/workforce believe that a high turnover of staff is the way to go. No wonder the workforce are demotivated!

Pros

The flight benefits are not terrible but other airlines offer better benefits.The only plus was that my colleagues made this place tolerable.

Cons

This company has no regard for employee loyalty. They are slowly getting rid of any employee that lives in America. Replacing them with employees who have less qualifications, care less and get paid less so naturally they will try less. This company is full of money hungry corporate snobs who have no regard for human decency. It is a dead end job that leads you no where in life. Most of the management is also terrible and lack any brain power whatsoever.

Pros

modern day head office with lots of facilities. I'm struggling to find any good reasons to add here.

Cons

Real cut throat environment now, lots of back-stabbing, very bullyish culture, bully boy management. Travel perks are not great, very expensive to use - no such thing as a free ticket
