Pros

Flight benefits, amazing 401(k) matching, many insurance options, and a great company culture. You can tell they really value their employees.

Cons

Vacation / Sick time is hard to discern. The current method that is used to track this time is not very efficient.

Pros

As flexible as you could ever dream, tons of paid down time, great if you are active and like to move. Planes are cool. Free flights are sweet.

Cons

Compared to other major airlines, every system is outdated. Bidding, shift trading, OT sign ups, even the Transfer Run system is like in the 2000s. No limit on hours you can work, which is a pro until they mando you off of a 24 hour shift. Standby flying is lacking compared to other airlines, if only because of a lack of international routes, remember Southwest is domestic only while United is basically global.
