Pros

Some really good people working here

Cons

Travel perks are space available, pay is comparatively low, benefits especially medical is expensive with large copays compared to other major businesses in area, bonuses are usually payed in restricted stock units under a 3 year vest. If you quit, get layed off or terminated, all of your unvested stock equity is gone instantly. Very very common especially for director and above.

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.
