Pros

Good flying benefits (Even though often times you wouldn't be able to get on). 7% 401k match (Not too bad since they don't care about being the best). Good health insurance plans. Stock purchase plan program is a bless Being par of a union is the best thing, without it ti would have been much worse than it already is.

Cons

Management doesn't really care about employees (Anything else you hear is just propaganda), all what they care about is saving few cents extra even if they need to wear out the crew. Management, especially Seattle base, are encouraging spreading the culture of telling on each other instead of creating a nice working atmosphere. Incredibly toxic culture. If you are gonna join this company, you really need to watch your back, some manager's sole responsibilities are to find a reason to fire people. Management believes they are one of the best companies to work for, and this will actually not happen until they realize that it actually isn't.

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
