Pros

Fly for free. And with the current economy it's easier than ever...more empty seats! Good management. The management is really making a very good effort in trying times and slashed budgets. Very diverse culture. It's a great place to see the world, all under one roof.

Cons

Salaries and new system development are stagnant due to current economic conditions. Much of what is currently done is cost cutting and exploring innovative ways of doing more with less. Cost-cutting has also led to inevitable lay-offs, hiring freezes, and early retirement.
