Business Outlook

Pros

Flight benefits are the standout benefit for sure. Aside from that, the work in the IT department is project based, so very team oriented with steady, predictable work patterns. Positive environment with good management.

Cons

Very hard to stand out in such a large company. Promotions are few and very far between. Commute to the main office can be rough being located on the south side next to the airport

Flight Attendant

Business Outlook

Pros

Terrific Company to work for. Travel benefits were wonderful and pay, once beyond 5 years, was great. Being a Flight Attendant provided me with the opportunity to see the World and provide great customer service to all levels of people. I grew as a person and gained professional experience which I took to my next profession. The only reason I left was because I had children. I chose my secondary career so I could be home in the evenings with my family.

Cons

Flight Attendant Travel did not work well for me as a new mom. Also, Flight Attendants do not get substantial enough pay while boarding the airplanes and in between flights while required to be on duty. The entire duty required for a workday cuts down your actual hourly pay rate to a much more minuscule pay rate. I believe at least a minimum wage rate should be paid for all hours required on duty for Flight Attendants in between flights and while boarding the plane. Per diem is not substantial enough for this time spent on the ground without flight pay.
