Pros

The people you get to work with are supportive, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable and friendly

Cons

Management doesn't know how to control finances, hired contractors who cost 2X as much and get work done 2X as slow compared to full time employees. No real positive outlook or career development, basically just "need to make sure Delta succeeds" so the company can actually make a step towards profitability once more.

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
