Pros
Amazing training, amazing stuff. Embraces the true NZ culture and makes you feel proud sharing with the world.
Cons
Not much. Maybe just like every job, you may work with someone that you don’t click with. The good thing is, every flight your on with a new crew.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
- Good people - Good staff discounts (i.e. flights, retail, travel etc.)
Cons
- Little to no induction - Not so good for young professional (no training budget, lack of structure, no progression, no performance chats, lack of mentoring) - Does not feel like you are working for an Airline - Not modern and is resistant to change - Low pay compared to market - No concept of being "one" Airline. Teams are all disjointed from one another - Politics and very slow

Pros
Forward thinking, innovative, team environment, future opportunities
Cons
Corporate which means a lot of policies in place
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Can-do, 'Go Beyond' culture, encourages and rewards teamwork, innovation and strong performance
Cons
Non-matrixed. Can be top-down, male-heavy and political
- Former Employee★★★★★
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.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Positive company, Good pay, Great perks
Cons
Middle Management can make life difficult depending upon the office you are in
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Air New Zealand drives and delivers an exceptional people culture and ensures the company values and purpose are at the forefront of the strategy across the global markets. I am very proud to work for a business who focuses on developing leaders and offering career development opportunities.
Cons
Communication between business units can be challenging due to size of the business.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Great brand let down by its internal culture (Management and HR)
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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.
