Pros of working at SkyWest Airlines

The work is not overly complicated, it is sometimes demanding and sometimes things slow down, but the job in and of itself is to the point and easily accomplished of you know and understand your role.

Cons of working at SkyWest Airlines

Company politics, creating positions for people who are flavored and the lack of growth opportunity. There is a good ol boy clubhouse and if you are not a yes man, you are blacklisted. Management covers for management even when they are in the wrong. You can easily get burned if you don't keep your wits or uphold your personal integrity. You have to stand up for yourself and push back against corruption. Managers care about the bottom line and show little interest in developing their people or recognizing talent.

SkyWest Airlines benefits

Flight Benefits are the best perk if you have time and opportunity to yes them.
