Does Southwest Airlines offer dental insurance?
Pros
You pretty much write your own schedule and work as much or as little as you choose. Also as a senior agent the pay is great, you fly free anywhere in the united states on our airline and seriously reduced on other airlines, great medical, dental and retirement plans. I don't know that you could beat this job as far as blue collar jobs go.
Cons

Advice to Management
