Pros

The only pro is the flight benefits, first class is now free. Also a lot of the other employees are awesome, everyone except management.

Cons

Long days can work up to 16 hours, no breaks, no access to food, must work all holidays. Substandard hotels 19+ hours at a hotel next to a jail in Newark, not really seeing the world. 8 hours minimum layovers mean in a 4 day trip you could work 12+ hours with only 5-6 hours of sleep a night. Unpaid for sign in and boarding. Management and customers treat you horrible. I have had coworkers cursed out and threatened by customers and management has done nothing.

Pros

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Cons

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
