Difficult work culture

The work itself isn't hard. You don't take any of your work home. The job it self and the given tasks aren't stressful. Its the management and politics that messes with you.

Pros

Colleagues

Cons

Political, Power tripping and strict WHS

It used to be great

I was with the company for 26 yrs until Covid I do miss all my friends that I worked with, however things change. Expectations are high and I gave it my all.

Pros

Pay, staff travel, good group of friends

Cons

Some management, rest periods, often tired.

Very intense and fast paced workplace

Very fast-paced workplace. Intense and repetitive heavy lifting is involved. Safety is a high priority with a focus on risk assessments & employee awareness. In-house training with heavy machinery and equipment but unfortunately licenses are not transferrable if you leave and find employment elsewhere. Full training is done every 2 years. Flexible working hours.

Toxic

You will need steel plated shirts to work in this company. Too many back stabbers, who just want to try and climb a ladder that leads nowhere.It used to be a great work place, when everyone cared. Now, nobody gives a hoot.

Pros

Working with great mates

Cons

Corporate

Professional, informative, standard airline recruitiment procedure

It was consistent with all airline recruitment procedures . Possibly a little more comfortable and relaxed . The interviewers were very good , professional and concise and made us feel very relaxed and comfortable.

Pros

Airfare staff benefits

Cons

Fly out of BNE airport only not Sunshine Coast

Great Company to work for

Staff are incredibly professional and fun to work with. Shift roster can be quite a challenge but you'll get the hang of it. Staff travel benefit is definitely one to look for.

Absolutely fabulous place to work. Other team members are inclusive and driven to succeed.

Qantas is an amazing place to work. The variety of destinations and customers makes for an enjoyable experience. Truely fortunate to be working for an iconic business.

Great Crew, Terrible Management

Working as a flight attendant is a great lifestyle if you're good with people and enjoy travel. The crew are great but there's a snarky high school mentality and you should be prepared for sycophantic people looking to advance by a good bit of backstabbing. Be careful about who you trust! Unfortunately, management view you as merely another number. Their main focus is on maximising shareholder and management profit. They'll work you as much as possible- especially if you're new and don't have seniority. I personally was 'let go' due to taking my crew meal and a can of coke off the aircraft to eat later. This was after years of faithful service. Don't get me wrong, I love the crew! Fantastic people who make the company what it is through their amazing service. It's just disappointing that management doesn't realise that the front line staff make the company, not how much upper management receives in bonuses due to maximising share price.

Pros

Flight discounts, great culture in crew, stay in lovely places, you get to fly!

Cons

Management treats you like a number, lots of backstabbing, front line staff are not valued by management at all

Great staff travel benefits in a diverse workplace.

Great staff travel benefits. Diverse working culture but still needs some improvement with just reporting processes. Good remuneration but with too much disparity in wages among staff in frontline roles which can cause some contention. Flexible working arrangements for some staff on the original Flight Attendant award. There has been some improvement in support for mental health issues among staff. There is excellent service and safety training which ensures quality of services delivered to our customers.

A restricted poor working environment under the helm of current CEO

A very fine balance between shareholders/board/CEO I think has been poorly executed at the expense of staff and passengers. A style that dominated 30years ago.

You're just a number at Qantaslink

Like all airlines you are just seen as a number who is a robot to their system. A constant roll over of staff is the norm, I had 5 managers in 3 years. Terrible shift work, long hours and no recognition.

Pros

Staff Travel

Cons

Everything

I love NRL and am a keen fisherman

My experience in the workplace, from Qantas to Far North Qld in the Mines, and being Self Employed has been my greatest asset. Typically my day starts at dawn and ends at dark. Six days a week. I thrive under pressure.

Pros

See the world for free.

Cons

Not enough time to go fishing

Very fast paced

Learnt a lot of health and safety procedures Working in a very fast paced environment which was right in my comfort zone The hardest part of the job was probably just the heat you got at the back of the dishwasher... Was bareable, over all nothing bad.

Pros

Free lunches

Cons

Fluctuating hours
