Pros

The employees really care about their jobs.

Cons

The company is part of a larger organization called Saltchuk, they say they are family oriented, but they expect you to work long hours, making it hard to take vacation. No work/ life balance. The company is top heavy, they need to have more worker bees and less management. The salaries are poor at best and their HR department is non-responsive, always feels like you are inconveniencing them when asking questions. The IT and Accounting departments feel that the way to solve problems is by hiring more people instead of addressing issues.

Pros

4-10's work schedule (sometimes), flight benefits, good medical insurance options, employer matched 401k, good place to get experience in the industry before so you can build your resume and work for a better company...if you still want to work in aviation when you're done.

Cons

The company wants to be a large company and compete with larger carriers, but it is not that. Wouldn't be a huge deal, but they treat employees like it's a huge airline and not a small, homegrown Alaskan company. End result is management is disconnected from the workers, nobody seems to care about getting to know employees because there's a sense that high turnover is to be expected. So you get no benefits of working for a small company (like close relationships with managers or a sense of being on a team) and you really don't get benefits of working for a huge company (small workforce so PTO puts everyone in a pinch, no breaks during a 10 hour shift, etc).
