Pros

This company has treated me very well. compensation and work rules are among the best in the industry. I have been able to travel the world and I have met great people here.

Cons

Many of the employees are entitled and do not realize how good we have it. Sometimes I fear excessive arrogance will be our downfall. We think the Southwest way is ALWAYS the best way, and sometimes Ideas from people with other industry experience are dismissed without any real consideration because it's not the way we've always done it.

Pros

The company offers competitive travel benefits, good pay, and the opportunity to work with many dedicated employees. The brand has a strong reputation, and there is potential for a positive work environment if leadership consistently lives up to the company's stated values.

Cons

Southwest Airlines has the potential to be a great company, but the workplace culture falls short of its public image. In my experience as an employee in HR I see the microaggressions are common, and employees of color face barriers to career growth and advancement that are not equally experienced by everyone. Leadership lacks transparency, communication is inconsistent, and employees are often left without clear explanations for important decisions. There is a disconnect between the company's stated commitment to diversity and inclusion and what is experienced in the workplace. The organization would be a much better place to work if leadership fostered a culture of accountability, transparency, respect, and equitable opportunities for all employees.
