Pros
Terrific Company to work for. Travel benefits were wonderful and pay, once beyond 5 years, was great. Being a Flight Attendant provided me with the opportunity to see the World and provide great customer service to all levels of people. I grew as a person and gained professional experience which I took to my next profession. The only reason I left was because I had children. I chose my secondary career so I could be home in the evenings with my family.
Cons
Flight Attendant Travel did not work well for me as a new mom. Also, Flight Attendants do not get substantial enough pay while boarding the airplanes and in between flights while required to be on duty. The entire duty required for a workday cuts down your actual hourly pay rate to a much more minuscule pay rate. I believe at least a minimum wage rate should be paid for all hours required on duty for Flight Attendants in between flights and while boarding the plane. Per diem is not substantial enough for this time spent on the ground without flight pay.
