Pros

Very rewarding, awesome opportunity to work next to aircraft if you're interested in that sort of thing. You build an amazing sense of comradery with your co-workers and the flexibility with hours is unmatched by any career in the world. If you don't mind a little hard work, you can make 60k (after 10 years) and travel like the other side does all without a college degree. Best job I've ever had.

Cons

Takes 10 years to top out in pay, the possibility of full-time is almost nill, some of the equipment is extremely dated and needs refreshing. It's tough to move up into management from the ramp and a lot of people might look at this as a con, I have no desire to do so myself though but I understand that.

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.
