Pros

Pay got better since the pay equity set in. Made some good friends working there.Mgmt tries to work with you on days off or have an emergency.

Cons

Micromanaging. Favoritism. When 1 person gets in trouble for something, everyone suffers. Passengers can be aggressive. Some of the policies dont make sense, like the people who implement them have never worked a day on checkpoint.
