Pros

Acceptable flying benefits that are expanding to include some international destinations and other airlines partners.

Cons

Management cares more about telling people what they want to hear than actually caring for people themselves. They put boxed water on board for example to pretend they are green, but when mold comes out of these boxes (which is not as rare as we hope) management can't care less as it's good PR. When people get hurt, no one cares as management is using the worst workers comp company out there with the only goal of saving money while pretending they are taking care of employees. When contract expires, management drags their feet on purpose for 3-4 years and never backpays fairly those who waited that long to get a contract. When you become too expensive, they start actively looking for opportunities to get you and get rid of you.

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
