Pros

Right now there are none.

Cons

Management is inept (Senior management not supervisory) hey come after employee salaries and benefits whenever they are in trouble while taking huge bonuses themselves. They rule by intimidation and fear. They like to pit work group against work group. They are ruthless against other airlines and careless with the people they hurt in the cities we pull out of. The flight attendant union is as inept as the management it supposedly goes against! Don't believe for a second that they have your best interest at heart. Don't know which I hate more the union or the management. They have taken away every bit of flexibility we had in this job. The new pay and rules which will soon be implemented will leave new hires working for less than minimum wage when you calculate the hours out in compared to the hours paid! DON'T DO IT! Flight Benefits are useless as our planes are full because they have cut so much capacity!

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.
