CALGARY, Aug. 9, 2017 /CNW/ - WestJet today announced that
Indeed, Canada's number one job
search site, has named WestJet top ten in its list of Best Places
to Work in Canada, as determined
by WestJet employee reviews through Indeed's website.
"When WestJet talks about success we talk about things like
culture, cost and competitive spirit, but the word that defines us
most is care," said Mark Porter,
WestJet Executive Vice President, People and Culture. "Being
deliberate about our caring culture and how we develop it is
critical to our success. Being considered one of the top places to
work in Canada is an honour,
especially because it is determined by past and current
employees."
Coordinator - AOG A/C Material (Current Employee) –
Mississauga, ON – 5 April 2017
"Excellent place to work with
good people and a great culture. WestJet takes care of its people
which in turn takes care of its guests. Best in Aviation."
Full-time Flight Attendant (Current Employee) –
Toronto, ON – 22 February 2017
"Great place to work with
an amazing culture! I've worked in many airlines and by far Westjet
has been my ultimate favorite company to work for. I would say the
hardest part of my job would be to be away from home and deal with
unsatisfied customers, because unfortunately as an airline not
every aspect can be satisfying for our flyers but we do our best to
keep them as happy and safe as we can!"
"Company reviews can greatly impact a job seeker's decision on
where they apply," said Jodi Kasten,
managing director at Indeed Canada. "The companies that made our
Best Places to Work in Canada list
offer an exemplary employee experience, receiving praise for their
commitment to offering a great culture, work-life balance and great
pay & benefits among many other factors."
