Pros

Flight Benefits. Met some great people!

Cons

Very political. A lot of people there were NOT qualified for the positions they held. Long hours. Little or no compensation (most of the time, not even a 'thank you'). Only way to get promoted is if someone 'likes' you, whether or not you can do the job. I worked with quite a few people over the years who were smarter than their Managers/Directors who felt threatened and rather than embrace their talent they were passed over for promotion and ultimately left or were conveniently 'let go' during a Company reduction. Their 'values' to own safety, do the right thing, be kind-hearted, deliver performance, and be remarkable are total crap. All they care about is the bottom line and working you to your breaking point.

Pros

The travel benefits are excellent, and the job offers opportunities to meet people from all over the world. My coworkers were supportive, teamwork was strong, and no two days were ever the same. The role helped me build confidence, improve customer service skills, and learn how to stay calm under pressure.

Cons

The schedule can be unpredictable, with long duty days, early mornings, late nights, weekends, and holidays away from family. The job can also be physically demanding, and dealing with difficult passengers can be stressful.
