Pros

Free lunch with something that resembles food. Usually Swanson bulk meals reheated with a limited selection. And you get paid weekly, like most airline jobs.

Cons

Clown Town. Safety is #3. Sexual harassment is the norm. You don't always get the pay promised. The worlds most unprofessional environment. It's common to hear people yell "That's not my job!"
