Pros

The benefits are the best with free filght being number 1 and they have the best healthcare plan with medical dental and vision plan coming in at a little over $16 a month you cant beat it

Cons

The starting pay for what we do is low. you start out at $10.18 an hour when for the work we do it should be somewhere around $12 at least thats how some competitors feel. Another down side is the lack of respect from station management (some supervisors and some station management) is it hard to say good job and talk to the work force like adults or it the child talk better.

Pros

The company offers competitive travel benefits, good pay, and the opportunity to work with many dedicated employees. The brand has a strong reputation, and there is potential for a positive work environment if leadership consistently lives up to the company's stated values.

Cons

Southwest Airlines has the potential to be a great company, but the workplace culture falls short of its public image. In my experience as an employee in HR I see the microaggressions are common, and employees of color face barriers to career growth and advancement that are not equally experienced by everyone. Leadership lacks transparency, communication is inconsistent, and employees are often left without clear explanations for important decisions. There is a disconnect between the company's stated commitment to diversity and inclusion and what is experienced in the workplace. The organization would be a much better place to work if leadership fostered a culture of accountability, transparency, respect, and equitable opportunities for all employees.
