Air New Zealand Reviews

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

Good remuneration ( pre-covid, hopefully STI will be back after covid19 impact) Excellent opportunities for career progression Good use of new tech Supportive managers who listen and change Super passionate people

Cons

Never ending org restructure, no bonus due to Covid which we always used to get and forms a chunk of our pay. Top heavy org structure

Pros

Currently WFH 4 days a week. Generally speaking a nice place to work.

Cons

Even before COVID-19 trying to cut costs, this translates to low/no pay rises. Post COVID they are actually talking about outsourcing, this tells me corporate is forgetting the actual fundamentals of a good business (good employees -> productivity) and is going to be run more and more by bean counters who only see bottom lines. Corporate has a decide first, "consult" later policy which never bodes well for employees short term or long term. I would both fear for the job security of colleagues in less secure positions and the long term effectiveness of the airline to react to changes (bit hard to be agile if everything is going to looked after by 3rd party).
