Pros

Get to travel for free and get to meet a lot of great people.

Cons

Only paid for the time you are in the air. 5-6 legs a day, sometimes with out a break in between. 12-14 hour days. Gone from home 4-5 days in a row. You don't get paid enough to be able to travel even if your flights are free. Negative work environment because all the flight attendants are over worked and under paid. A mindless job

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.
