Pros

The flight benefits are nice, if you can use them. Flights are full and non-represented employees have little to no flexibility to travel. Employees are amazing! The friendships are what kept me here for so long. Upper level leadership is inspiring.

Cons

The pay is way below market--no amount of "free" flight benefits could make up the difference HR leadership is made of up a clique of people promoted into HR who are not qualified in terms of experience or education--if you are an HR professional, this will not be a good fit for you! HR cannot manage or lead its own team and fails to provide good consultation to company leaders.

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
