Pros
Most of the people you work with are amazing. New planes with more on order, Frontier has been annoucing new routes and new destinations like crazy. The company is growing very rapidly and hiring a lot of new Flight Attendants meaning your seniority will grow fast and you're time on reserve will be short (depending on what base you get). You get flight benefits on other airlines, health, vision, dental, pet, 401k benifits. The hotels you stay at on layovers are very nice and most of the time you'll have the opportunity to go out and experience the city. Your supervisors are great and are willing to help you if you need it. You'll be reimbursed for parking or public transportation to your home base. Training is somewhat paid.
Cons
The pay is mediocre compared to your competitors (you'll have to work here up to 6 years or more to make the hourly you'd make starting out at a similar or bigger airline). Frontier is a very profitable airline but don't expect to see ANY of it because there's no profit sharing. There is little opportunity to make more while you are on reserve, some bases have less time on reserve than others. Reserve (being on-call) is 24hours at a time up to 6days in a row. The new contract has been in negotiations for 3 years and is no where close to being completed (FAs and pilots are on the verge of striking, read the news). As far as our CEO goes, well, compare the approval ratings for our CEO to the CEOs at other airlines... the numbers don't lie. Dont have much to compare our point system to but you can only call out sick a few times a year (in other words dont get sick). You can fly on other airlines but you will be at the very very very bottom of thier standby list. With that being said, commuting is not at all recommended but there are people who do it. Expect to work days that are barely legal while on reserve. Get back from a long exhausting trip? They could put you back on reserve at the airport until you time out. On to training... Frontier has one of the most intense trainings out there with only about a 50% to 60% success rate. Fail a test twice? Bye. 10 seconds late to class? Adios. You'll be thrown a lot of info in three weeks and only get to see an actual real life plane once until after you're done with training yet you're expected to know what you're doing. My advice, either work here for a little to gain experience then move on to a better airline or stick it out for a couple years til the new contract comes out. Frontier is experiencing growing pains and I do have hope it'll get better and be like the old frontier you'll hear so many old Frontier FAs talking about but it's going to take a long time to get that point with our current management team. Everyone's opinion will be different but do your research and see if this is the job for you in your current situation.
