lying two faced management; zero tolerance for everything except the mistakes upper management themselves make.

Pros

I have wonderful memories of my time w/ RAH. I'd say, at least half of the in flight crew were great people to get to know.

Cons

as our company grew from 450 f/a's, to thousands and thousands of f/a's, management stayed the same size. Bases would be "supervised" by 1 person, who also "supervised" 2-3 bases. That is 1 person overseeing, potentially 500+ people. Clearly, effecient staffing, and employee morale was not at the forefront of upper managements minds. I was let out the back door...after 2 aircraft evacuations. And the whole time, I was interogated. BEWARE of this horribly run airline. Oh, and for those who may not share an ultra fundamentalist/catholic view on life...your CEO, bryan bedford, will cram the bible down your throat, when he "finds time" to write his "weekly" memo's to all company staff. He preaches, and quotes scripture, and always sends you a warm...and by warm, i mean fake, "god bless."

Great career, less-than-great company

Pros

The pros of the company are just those of working for any airline - like cheap-to-free travel, some great overnights, and awesome coworkers. There's nothing specifically standout about this place in particular.

Cons

It's hard to get wrapped up in a life-long career dream when, everywhere you turn, somebody's trying to make it more miserable for you. What's not to like about flying around the country, flexible schedules and awesome coworkers? Scheduling that treats you like crap, managers who look for ways to punish you, no support from the company in reigning in unreasonable passengers, too-short overnights, too-long duty days, either too-short-for-meal or too-long-to-be-real layovers between flights, inflexible management human resource practices, and a really tragic reserve process.
