Southwest Airlines Reviews
Rating 4.56 out of 5 27 reviews
I have worked for Southwest Airlines for almost 5 years and I have loved my time with them so far. I have formed life-long friendships with the people I have worked with in the past and work with in the present. The benefits they offer their employees are some of the best I personally have heard of. I tell anyone I know to apply for positions at Southwest because it is a great company to grow with. I see myself staying with Southwest for the rest of my working life.
Southwest Airlines Phoenix Reservations Center was my first job after my debilitating car accident, that left me wheelchair-bound. I didn’t know it at the time, but they were preparing me for my hard-core Sales Job at Direct Alliance/INSIGHT. At Direct Alliance, I became one of the top salespersons and was awarded multiple all-expenses-paid trips, as a result. Without Southwest, I don’t think I would’ve performed near as well! They are hiring on a regular basis, throughout the country. My good friend Aaron had always wanted to be a Southwest Airlines Flight Attendant, so I suggested he accept a referral, work at the Reservations Center for one year and then apply for a flight attendant position. Aaron did that and he’s been a Southwest Flight Attendant, for several years now! He loves it and he might never have lived this dream without first working at the Reservations Center!
Southwest values character over skill level. They have a deep culture of efficiency and a customer service focus. If you are a hard worker with a good personality, you will fit in.
