Pros
I was there for over 10 years.. standby travel was good in the beginning but only got more difficult to the point where I would rather spend money to get an actual ticket. Trading shifts with other employees was a pro but they always change the schedule and not everything matched up to be able to trade. I made a decent amount of money but it took me 10 years to get there.
Kontras
So many. Horrible management, supervisors literally made fun of me behind my back to other supervisors (multiple times, multiple supervisors) about my appearance and personal life. You are overworked and they straight up do not care about you. Management does not take complaints seriously, and neither does HR (they’re just there to protect themselves). The employees that actually work there are like high schoolers, it’s a very disrespectful, sexist and disgusting break room. I was sexually harassed more than once. I’m not sure if it’s this horrible at other airlines but if you have the opportunity to go to delta or something, do that instead.
