Pros

On paper the FP&A department looks like a good place to work. The job descriptions look relatively interesting. That's where the pros end...

Cons

Nearly everything about how the FP&A department is run is a disaster. There are at least weekly fire drills of unplanned and disorganized chaos, most of which ends up being busywork. The culture is awful, and the leadership is busy pointing fingers and yelling at everyone except themselves, particularly when the problems are due to structural issues with the company. Everything leadership says about FP&A being a good place to work, to get ahead, to learn, is a lie. Promotions are basically nonexistent, even if you are deserving. The hours are long and erratic, often for no reason, again just busywork nonstop. This is made worse by the fact that the pay is at least 20% below market rate and the benefits are awful.

Pros

Seeing new places. Working with a variety of people; I've been a flight attendant for about 10 months now and most of the time I am working with a Crew I have not met yet. There are different positions to work, the forward cabin or the aft cabin. The benefits. You can switch bases if you'd like or stay with one for the rest of your career. The schedule is very flexible, I have not had to ask for vacation days yet, because it is so easy to get the days off that you want. You can drop/trade your trips and rebuild your schedule if it did not come out the way that you had planned.

Cons

You don't always get the schedule you want. Trading and dropping can be easy but at times, it can be difficult. Delays. Nobody likes a delay. Sometimes it can be lonely on your layovers. Just like any other job, you run into people that dislike their job, I like to call them "Energy Vampire" because it is easy for people to damper your energy. I miss my family and animals. Living out of a suitcase can be tiresome at times. Finding new meals to put into your lunch bag can be tricky.

Pros

Flight benefits but you are lower than the janitor on the standby list

Cons

Very very low pay, on reserve you can get called in & if they cancel the flight you get absolutely nothing. Be prepared to pay the train fares / Uber’s to get to a canceled 2 hour call out flight and then get no rest for your next trip. I can’t believe some of the things this company does is even legal. 24 hours a day / 6 days a week reserve ??? This is inhumane & you’re making $4 more an hour than some Paul joe at McDonald’s when you’re sitting at the airport for 5+ hours for your delays and don’t get anything. The pay definitely needs to be increased or this is just a joke... if you’re living in a cheap crashpad (with 30 roomates) - my current situation... be prepared to spend 1/4 of your whole monthly income from frontier on that... don’t include train rides, food expenses, and everything else... I can’t imagine what my check would look like if i accepted any of the benefits.
