Pros

I live in Texas and it's close to where I live. Travel benefits sound good however unless you want to travel to Waco on Tuesday, it's tough to get anywhere. On occasion, you do luck out.

Cons

Losing money for years. CIO is a complete ass and therefore in a technology track it's tough to overlook how horrible your leadership is. Kill the messenger mentality, no innovation, fear and intimidation are how IT is run. Directors are not held accountable for gross incompetence. Endless freebies abound for VPs yet employees can't sit in a chair that's not broken. Most directors don't even know the names of their employees much less take an interest in development.

People, 401k match, flight benefits

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.
