Pros

If you are a recent MBA grad with the enthusiasm and IQ of a puppy you will go far with the post-merger management team. Travel benefits Great co-workers

Cons

Legacy Delta employees with real-world airline industry experience are being pushed out post-merger. While I indicated great co-workers as a "pro" above, recently more and more employees being promoted into management are ruthless, immoral, and/or woefully inexperienced and clueless.
