Amazing people, bad work life balance
Guest Service Agent (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 29 November 2023
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedAt first heaps of hours are given to you after your training is done, from then in your get less and less hours and it becomes hard to live. Hence why people leave or get another job. Absolutely amazing people to work with and heaps of opportunities to grow, but hours are work life balance are not good . You get great travel benefits (if you are able to get leave approved)
Pros
Amazing colleagues and benefits
Cons
Bad hours and bad work / life balance

Great Workplace
Baggage Handler (Former Employee) - Kingsford NSW - 25 November 2023
Lots of fun interactions with co-workers and although work is repetitive at the end it is worth it. If you can't stand standing up most of the times then it's not recommended.

My family
Ground Crew (Current Employee) - New South Wales - 17 November 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? The most positive work atmosphere Work doesn't feel like work it feels like your walking into your second home. Absolutely loved this job RAMP family became forever family. The work is straight forward but having so many great people beside you with management being just as Amazing I would recommend virgin. And the room for growth and to climb is just as spectacular. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Nothing stressful about working with VA that's just my personal opinion What is the work environment and culture like at the company? When they say virgin wears there hearts on there sleeve! Well there not lying Virgin has built such a strong foundation and Love is also at the core of that you feel it 💟 What is a typical day like for you at the company? When it's busy it's BUSY but quite days are very chilled and layed back. The work can be hard sometimes depending on the time you have to work with to get things going but that can also fall back on the invidual or team or most times delays from weather can take its toll on us but it's a given working in Aviation love what we do tho

Great role
Cabin Crew (Current Employee) - Sydney NSW - 7 November 2023

Easy work, good people and terrible hours.
Baggage Handler (Former Employee) - Tullamarine VIC - 16 October 2023
Like I said the work is easy if you have ever worked a hard job before, repetitive and boring tasks but easy. The people there really make it worth wild don’t get me wrong there are some characters but usually all of them are good blokes. If you are wanting to a work life balance dream again you’re going to be beyond tired most of the time especially if you live 40 minutes to a hour away have fun driving home tired all the time but yea say good bye to feeling like you have had good nights rest most days.

If I had the opportunity to work for another company at the time I would never had taken the job.
Pilot (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 20 September 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? Worked as a pilot for a number years, Virgin isn't as good as they they claim to be . Majority of staff aren't happy with the management. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? Dealing with all the ego of senior staff. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? I believe there is a bullying culture which is firmly established. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Your day is predicated on who you are rostered on with.

Used to be a great place to work. Well past it’s glory and fun days
Ramp Agent (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 19 September 2023
Prior to covid it was a fantastic place to work. But since the buy-out from Bain. VA is not a shadow of its former self. Work with a great bunch of people. Which keeps me getting up to go into work.
Pros
Staff Travel, work life balance.
Cons
Wages could be better.

Very underpaying job

Virgin Australia pays its ground handlers practically nothing compared to any other place I've worked at before, I highly highly do not recommend working here if you want to be paid well for your time.
Pros
Long breaks
Cons
Bad pay

Fun and Friendly Workplace with opportunity to grow.
Developer (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 12 July 2023
Had a great experience with Virgin Australia. The tech side of Virgin Australia has expanded majorly, and there is plenty of opportunity to work on exciting projects and learn new things.

Changed Management really has killed the Birgin brand
Cabin Supervisor (Current Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 4 July 2023
A bunch of new managers made their way to their new position. They did not understand ethics or boundaries and would make large mistake. Instead of fixing them they would cover them with lies and try and drag in other senior managers. The company felt they had no choice but to support these managers as more than one rather than focus on the broken murals and values they represented. Their actions are known and a lot of great Cabin Crew have now left which is very sad,
Pros
Your friends you make who are like family
Cons
Terrible senior decisions which are unethical

Never mentioned pay on work adds
Virgin Australia (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 27 June 2023
Always sceptical when companies list all the benefits of the advertised job except the most important benefit pay Usually low pay when you read the reviews that is the most common dislike companies should be forced to tell the pay when advertising jobs

love the industry but need to ensure the team members are appreciated
Ground Crew (Former Employee) - Brisbane QLD - 4 May 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? the team members working that I worked alongside What is the most stressful part about working at the company? emphasis on accuracy but also having time deadlines which was stressful What is the work environment and culture like at the company? team member skills and previous work history sometimes overlooked in favour of "who knows who" when promoting What is a typical day like for you at the company? up early as shift work and having to eat on the run sometimes. Being able to communicate to all types of customers and deal with stressful situations while thinking of solutions on the run.

fun workplace but very long days
Flight Attendant (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 3 April 2023
I loved working at virgin. It almost felt like i wasn’t working. The down side of it is not have a routine with working on a 24/7 roster. long days with delays are so tiring and took a toll on my mental health. I wish it didn’t affect me so badly because it’s honestly such a fun job. Would 100% recommend if you live close to the airport
Pros
staff travel
Cons
long hours
