Pros

Generally have good coworkers and once you’re in, company will never fire you

Cons

- Senior leadership is laughable with poor understanding of workplace trends, competitive comp and overvaluation of flight benefits - company can’t afford top talent so most people are those that can’t move to more competitive companies or that are stuck in H1B processing - pay and benefits is crap. No RSUs below the Director level, VC is 2 weeks, no paternity leave and salary is not competitive within DFW or against other industries - CEO is not forward thinking and wants teams to be in office 5 days a week. Most of his team are industry/company incumbents and have no outside experience - company performance across all metrics lags competitors. Look at LTR, stock price, ops performance, etc and Delta and United are better - company doesn’t know how to adapt to the future of travel or work and is not set up to thrive - company is obsessed with diversity among black and women so if you’re not in one of those categories (esp white or Asian male), good luck getting promoted

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.
