Svantaggi
For a relatively young company, the office environment at HQ is so old school and toxic which is due to the way of thinking by senior leadership. Senior leadership team also micromanages to the extreme. Company culture is nearly nonexistent at HQ in Long Island City. During COVID-19 pandemic, JetBlue was the only company that I knew of that actively forced its employees back into the office in October-November 2020 (before there was a vaccine) while only giving employees a 2 weeks notice about return to office. Because senior leadership is very old school, they don't believe you can get any work done remotely; very much "butts in chairs" mentality. The majority of initiatives for career growth is all smoke and mirrors. JetBlue also tends to only promote people who hardly do any actual work (analysts and senior analysts are the backbone of the office). Many people left the company in 2020 due to opt outs and finding jobs elsewhere leaving the rest who stayed to pick up the extra work while also receiving questionable (unethical) pay cuts in 2020. Also, senior leadership team could not assure job security for employees at Support Centers during 2020/2021. All of these actions resulted in burned out, overworked, underpaid, and under appreciated employees who are leaving the company at a rapid rate. Finally, JetBlue pays severely less compared to other airlines (even though they claim they pay competitively).
