Pros

If you are a pilot you will love it and can avoid much of the bs. If you land one of the many 'no real responsibility' managerial or professional jobs you can enjoy a life of leisure without having to do much if any actual work.

Cons

If you are not in one of the above categories, you will be treated like crap. If you actually care about petty items like doing the right thing, fixing problems, or making a difference, you will be frustrated. Racism, harassment, bullying, and unethical behavior start at the very top of the Company, and thus those traits and acts are normal, likely expected, and certainly unpunished, parts of everyday life there.

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).
