Pros

People I work. Nice benefits.

Cons

The reviews about IT is true, especially with the new leadership. Churn and burn is right. Many looking to leave (even new hires) as we don't know if we will have a job tomorrow. Seems like leadership likes using fearfactor. This plus not being valued, being underpaid, reorgs and outsourcing doesn't make this a fun place to be. With all this happening, nothing has changed - systems are still old and broken.

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.
