      I have been working at Virgin Atlantic Airways full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Benefits are great - 7 free flights a year Bonus is great if you can get through the impossible list of requirements to achieve it

      Cons

      There is no work life balance - the contact centre is open 24 hrs a day every day, therefore if you like your public holidays, think twice about applying. To progress within the company is impossible unless you know somebody higher up, otherwise they won't look at you twice.

      No opinion of CEO

      I worked at Virgin Atlantic Airways full-time

      Pros

      7 free flights a year and you get to work with some genuine people that want to help.

      Cons

      You only get promotions if you're in with the correct people. The ones that want to climb the ladder never seem to get noticed.

      Advice to Management

      Employ supervisors that actually want to be there and that aren't just there for the pay cheque.
