Nothing more than a brand name

Reservations and sales support agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work environment is congenial only because of like minded and young employees.

Cons

The management has a lot of favoritism when it comes to promoting staff. The less deserving go up the corporate ladder and the deserving staff are completely demotivated. The chances of growth within the company are very bleak...one needs to be very very lucky..

Pros

Job Security Good Benefits as add-ons (however very low accommodation pay) Travel Benefits Diversity of the employees

Cons

Low Salaries Hardly make any increments (this year I got none and no bonus, though our department has successfully made very well) No commission based job (though I work as sales) No proper job career (someone outside would / might take your opportunity) The pay is not reasonable to establish a family in this country (grade 6 job)

GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

World class Airline with the best infrastructure in place to groom its resources. An ideal multicultural environment to work with where you interact and learn a lot.

Cons

Low Salaries, Politics & Prejudiced when it comes to few handful of bosses. The way EK is growing in its network and fleet, there must be system in place to take care of its resources at Micro level instead of putting one hat on every head which is not a policy which works in a long term basis.
