RecommendsNeutral OutlookI worked at Air New Zealand full-time
Pros
Lots of travel - got to see a lot of NZ/AUS with this job. quite a bit of flexibility with shifts, six weeks annual leave per year. Discounted flights and accommodation and the ability to fly stand-by. Pay is decent considering the job isn't necessarily hard or stressful. Most people have a good attitude and are a fun to work with. The company has a good culture and there's lots of opportunities to do good things within the community if you want to (in your own time), but there's no pressure to partake in these activities if you don't want to.
Cons
Promotions are very competitive. Hours and be long and job sometimes requires you to be away from home quite a fair bit. You have to be available weekends and public holidays.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Air New Zealand full-time
Pros
Fast paced industry, good for recent grads
Cons
Bell curve grading system means silos are hard to breakdown, clicky culture, managers don't know how to manage, work life balance is non-existent. HR stuck in the 80's. Little diversity in exec positions, which is becoming an embarrassment to the company. Little opportunity to move up. Benefits are overrated, pay is below market.

Pros
Great colleagues. It's great to work at an iconic New Zealand company.
Cons
Management is all talk with no follow-through. No vision beyond slogans and taglines. Due to COVID, outsourcing is on the increase and job security is weak. Little opportunity for career progression. Wages are low and employee benefits are near non-existent with no plan.
