Vantaggi
Global Brand: Working for a prestigious and internationally recognized airline boosts professional credibility.
Flight Benefits: Attractive travel perks including discounted or free (only tax) tickets for employees and their families.
Job Security: Generally strong job stability due to the company’s scale and government ties.
Training & Development: Good emphasis on professional development with comprehensive training programs.
Dynamic Environment: Working in a multicultural and international environment keeps the job exciting.
Svantaggi
Work-Life Balance: Depending on the role, the hours can be demanding, including night shifts, holidays and weekends. (Like all other airlines)
Bureaucracy: As a large semi governmental institution, decision making can be slow and heavily hierarchical.
Promotion Disparity: Employees based at the Istanbul hub are far more likely to be promoted, while experienced local staff at international stations are often overlooked, regardless of performance or tenure.
Political Influence: Due to the company’s close ties with the government, political references can play a significant role in promotion decisions.
