BlueLink reviews

- Unpleasent working times (working in shifts; sometimes only 1 day per week off as you might work the weekend), also working weekends and holidays There is not enough compensation given for working on holidays. It would be good to have another day off instead if you worked on a holiday as other companies offer in Prague. It is not pleasent to work every month the same amount of shifts and exhausting for employees then to only have 23 days off per year and working some weekends and holidays. Employees feel exploited. Please wake up, Management. There is enough companies who offer better conditions in Czech Republic. Most people can stand this thorugh for 1 year or maximum 2, but at some point you want your life back and find a proper balance between work and life. Especially when you have a family it is hard to arrange this job. Probably this is also nothing that Air France indirectly wants to stand for. - The 'Benefits' are probably dependant on your need, but language classes don't bring you a lot further than the beginner level. Meal vouchers are sold as a benefit, but every company has to offer them. The flight tickets are no confirmed tickets and therefore risky to take to destinations where flights are not operating every day or in higher seasons. As well you have the last priority among all staff members. - Management has no or little understanding for personal situations. I saw supervisors that pretend to feel with personal situations, but they offer you the minimum to arrange personal things (even overtime is most of the time not possible to be used) and behind your back you find out that they speak bad about it. I did not trust my supervisors. - There is not enough experienced employees as environment changes too fast and company is not doing enough to keep the good experienced employees. As well it is not enough time invested to improve knowledge. - The latter leads to too high work load for the remaining employees and frustration and in the end leave of the company... I was not planning to leave Bluelink as I have quite good friends there, but after some time I was not able to cope with the load anymore. I feel the need to give this concrete feedback to the management in order to take actions (and I mean serious actions and no short time solutions) and I am hoping that my friends who were standing through this long enough might still profit from these actions. Cheers!

The environment is unfortunately stressful, in high season also very intense and pressure comes from all levels - both the clients, but also your superiors, as performance in these periods is crucial. Because of the nature of the labour, working in shifts and on the weekends (and in most cases public holidays) is a must - time will be split between early morning and late shifts, also you have to plan these shifts quite some time in advance. Because it is not a job the requires special qualifications and skills. the level of remuneration reflects this. Also depending on the language set you offer, the pay is disproportionately high for some languages (at least when I was an employee). Sometimes opportunity for growth arises quickly, but in other cases you might wait for years and due to the operational needs be kept at a position where you perform best.
