Pros

Wothin reason the company tries to do the right thing for employees.

Cons

Cult-like culture. Very insulated and suspicious of "goings-on" outside of Atlanta. It purports to be a global company, but its thinking is local and confined to the Southern USA. Compensation for high level performance is not competitive with other industries, and its policy is outdated, where an employee in a rural part of the USA is compensated in the same manner as an employee in a city like New York. As a result in places like New York, the company cannot attract the level of talent necessary to compete for the best people available.

Pros

Delta Air Lines provideds the best flight benefit program of any major airline. $50 annual charge for flights to anywhere in the Delta/Northwest system. I'm talking Bankok, Tokyo, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Miami. Where ever and pretty much when ever you want. All covered with the $50 annual charge. You also get a full health insurance package with options for HSA(health care savings account). You will also work in a non-stale enviorment that allows you to hone your customer service and critical thinking skills.

Cons

Some departments deal with passengers and you sometimes deal with some colorful characters, also you may also work outdoors if you choose to work on the ramp or in maintence, mother nature is the enemy there.

Pros

You need a job and you love working with the public. You enjoy last minute travel and can deal with major business instability.

Cons

Poor pay, chronic management instability and an inability to make money as a business. The corporate culture has valued longevity with the company over job performance, and given much of the upheaval in the industry most of the good people have left. While the new CEO is saying the right words, they have all been said before.
