Pros

The airline industry is a fascinating industry. Volatile, but very interesting. Other reasons include Flight benefits, technologically advanced, good place to cut your teeth, very fast paced, deadline driven environment. The people are nice and you get to work with people from all over the world.

Cons

employee recognition is not very good, pressure, stressful at times, not well organized. There's layoffs every couple of years. Always a sense of insecurity in the air, which makes employees withold information from colleagues at times. People can be territorial. There isn't much money for training, so things are learned via baptism by fire.

Pros

The travel benefits are great if you have the time to use them and there is availability on the flights. Its a great job for a younger, single person who doesn't need a high paying job or as a second job if your other job is very flexible. Its also good for people who are older and looking for a second career and don't have family responsibilities. It can be a really interesting job working at the airport and seeing where everyone is flying. You meet a lot of interesting people.

Cons

difficult to plan family life with ever changing work schedule

Pros

Travel and other benefits. Certainly, there are worse airlines and the industry is confronted with great challenges. If you wish to enter this volatile industry, United might offer a good entry point. However, the long term viability of United remains questionable.

Cons

Poor working environment, lack of promotional or growth opportunities, hostile climate, poor morale and leadership.
