Pros

Flight benefits, obviously, with the ability to take your family on visits throughout the world. Flexible work schedules. Public contact. High energy. Opportunity to work in various locations. Benefits are above average and affordable. They train you.

Cons

Very seldom get weekends or holidays off. No tuition reimbursement. No pay for knowledge; only seniority. In general, the skills are not transferable. Very difficult to advance; on some positions, they'll pay more for an outsider than to hire within.
