Pros

Travel benefits (when there is actually space available, which is hard to find in SEA)

Cons

Alaska paid a consulting firm (a nice chunk of change) to put a framework together to help mgmt employees feel that there are career progression opportunities available to them. It's called careermap. Waste of money. After they launched the program last year, everyone had ridiculous new job titles and everyone now reports directly to a director. Poor directors! All the employee relations issues that resulted from this program burnt me out which is why I left this place in a hurry! Ask around and you'll find out that many tenured and talented people have left the company too!

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.
