What is working from home like at British Airways?

Work-life balance. Great Co workers to work with.

No work from home, Services is subpar

Nice environment Good cab service Growth opportunity Salary and OT is good Good management

Rotational shifts No work from home

Can get valuable experience Can work from home (role dependant)

Managers don't really manage or provide enough work. Their apprenticeships do not come with a job opportunity at the end, instead they terminate your contract. I only found out about this with two months remaining.

Staff travel perk is good

1 day work from home policy

At the moment can`t think of anything. Standby travel is a good thing to have but you still have to pay hundreds of pounds for your ticket, you may or may not get on a flight and not everyone can afford, or wants to go on holidays. Reduced hours offered to those who don`t wish to work full time.

Unpaid breaks No parking on site No sick pay Constant requirement for greater output but no actual incentives Having to go through security every day if you work in the terminal which realistically adds half an hour to your working hours (unpaid) Pay does not keep up with inflation! Zero effort made to retain staff within the business Zero effort to nurture talent and bring out the best in people, no opportunities to train or gain experience in different areas of the business Managers are stressed, unapproachable, overwhelmed, have no interest or skills to manage Constant mistakes by resourcing department resulting in messy rosters Decisions are made at top level with focus on financial targets only, high level execs do whatever necessary to reach those targets with zero interest in employee wellbeing or how changes affect customers The airline genuinely does NOT care about customers, so avoid BA if you are a people`s person and believe in customer service Bad treatment of employees - the airline only cares about cheap labour, this is why departments are being outsourced to India Horrible uniform that is see through, causes skin disease and no matter how you wear it looks unprofessional, yet no one cares, because the only thing that matters is that it is cheap Some employees are 70+ which puts a lot of pressure on younger colleagues - but BA does not care about employee wellbeing so no one is surprised Positions that require specialist knowledge, experience and being in the terminal are paid less than entry-level, work from home admin roles Constant firing and rehiring of employees on lower pay Hiring people then making them redundant less than a year later (like the entire ARC ticketing team), forcing people out

Seniority based system and the ability to transfer between fleets and seats, to better suit lifestyle and pay aspirations

Time away from home and the scheduling, which when junior which can affect home life and ability pre arrange activities.

Leaving a toxic work environment and coming to work here was a breath of fresh air. There’s such an open, welcoming and friendly culture amongst all colleagues. Seniors treat you as an equal, with little to no micromanaging (in my personal experience) and there’s a real sense of trust amongst employees. Plus, the travel concessions are a SWEET bonus.

Communication between different departments can be a little lacking sometimes, but I feel this is a natural consequence of WFH culture.

Get to travel the world. Meet lots of people and have different experiences.

Can be hard to juggle with home life.

See the world and friendly people

Away from home and long days
