      Pros

      Can travel all Delta destinations free minus taxes/landing fees on space available, usually in the First Class cabin. Lots of down time while at work. Many discounts for Delta employees. Overtime is routinely authorized. Profit sharing compensation depending on how well the company performs for the fiscal year. Promotions within are great.

      Cons

      Seniority dictates your schedule. Many people have been there 30+ years. Office politics pertaining to daily assignments. Some supervisors will micromanage the operation.

      Passive-Aggressive Company Culture

      Pros

      If you start at the ground floor and work your way up, there are a lot of opportunities at Delta. They take great pride in promoting from within.

      Cons

      Employees joining at mid to upper levels of management seem to have a hard time moving further up. There's a lot of the 'good old boy' network at Delta (which makes sense given their southern roots). Also, I noticed a lot of 'passive-aggressive' managers while I was there. They'd be sweet as a Southern Peach to your face, but stab you in the back the first chance they got if they thought it would help them out.

      a flock of sub-par managers

      Pros

      Delta flies to everywhere in the world

      Cons

      The folks from NorthWest came in and took over operate like a mafia. If you're not a made man, you're not going to do well. If you make someone above you look good, they'll hold your and and move you up the ladder rung by rung. In addition, 95% of the managers and leadership are white.
