Pros

In RM you can work on holidays to get extra vacation time since you only get 12 days (so much for flight benefits).

Cons

Promotions are inconsistent and and while they say they know this and are working on it, they won't. You only get 12 days off. SEVERELY underpaid to do that work. Managers and team leads micro-manage and never let you pitch your own ideas. If you want approval to do something it goes through 5 people above you instead of being able to just do it. If you don't have an MBA from one of the 5 schools they've chosen you'll be paid significantly less to do the same work and not get promoted. They have no idea what diversity is in terms of race for analysts. While about half the analysts are women, with every level you go up there is a smaller and smaller percentage of women. Also a lot of kids fresh out of college so people are over-controlled and treated like children. They also only ever want to party and travel together so if you don't you'll be left out and feel isolated.

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.
