WestJet Airlines Employee Review

West Jet (eye roll)

Customer Service Representative (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 29 November 2022

WS doesn’t care one iota about your personal, professional, family or educational life!!! Quite simple they will not accommodate anything outside their company. Training is virtual and rushed once completed you’re thrown to the wolves!! Pay starts at $15.50 p/h and not worth the perks! You do not fly for free if that’s what you’re thinking. Good luck finding time to travel. The training is absolutely disgusting! It’s virtual and rushed. Trainers do not spend much time explaining or going over scenarios. Training for certain tasks in the airport is 2 days then you’re thrown in. Some really good co workers on the floor. It’s overall a very young environment with a HIGH turnover. People learn quick that WS is about the almighty dollar and not their staff at the bottom!

Pros

Some good CSA’s on the floor

Cons

Disgusting training, management and wages!

Fun place to work and career growth is real

Customer Service Agent (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 10 December 2022

There is always a career growth especially if you are a goal oriented person. If there is a vacancy at the top, they will always open it first to the current employee before seeking someone from outside or if no one applied from within the organization. People will always appreciate all the work you have done here. You will always hear thank you and good job which is good to boost your morale.

Pros

Travel Benefits

Cons

Grumpy passenger, Angry guest because of flight delays or cancellations which happens to every airlines.

Management has their favourites and rest of the workers very poorly, most people are let go with in the probation period if your manager does not like you ,it does not matter how hard you work,Evan if you don’t call sick or late.

Pros

Flexible to shift trade

Management not good

Low wage and zero work life balance

Lead Flight Attendant (Current Employee) - Toronto, ON - 20 January 2023

Hiring as long term employees jump ship; new owners who care more about the bottom line than the welfare of its employees … no pension, low wages and no work life balance. The WestJet that was is gone
