Pros

Great people, "family" atmosphere, freedom & flexibility with schedule. Excellent benefits. This is a great job for a young person who has low expenses and little responsibility at home. Or, for someone with an understanding partner.

Cons

Very low pay. The industry standard is low for flight crews and Horizon/Alaska keep up with it, but its still hard to make ends meet. Its tough to use the travel benefits when you can't afford to pay for hotels, etc., and when you have kids you need to be home with them when you're off.

Pros

The job has great variety of interesting tasks--indoor and outdoor, mental and physical--and shifts always go quickly because of this. At my station there's camaraderie, support, and teamwork among coworkers that makes me enjoy being at work. I also like being part of a company that seems to backup their purported values such as safety and kindness. A big plus is that they provide health benefits even for part-time workers. There also seem to be a lot of options for career growth/changes.

Cons

The pay is not commensurate to the type of work that's performed/expected. You are basically doing ten different jobs with rigid/detailed regulations to know and big safety consequences if you get it wrong, for less pay than you'd make at many entry level fast food gigs. Also, the job would be difficult if you have a tight schedule, because it's rare to get off a shift exactly at the time it supposedly ends--you leave when the work is done, not at the time that's written on your schedule.
