Pros
Best Airline. It was a lot of fun and great energy.

Pros
Fun, fast paced environment, great teammates.
Cons
senior managers: For an innovative company they were pretty old school on managing. really frowned on remote work. Would not give titles/promotions due to being a "flat organization" which was baloney.
Advice to Management
Sr Management took the golden parachute so all ends well for them. If they move to other adventures I would suggest to become better with their own teammates, be honest and don't hide behind words like "flat organization"

Pros
None unless you had a high seniority number.
Cons
Zero up front communication regarding training and pay, fake personalities, upper management gossip, slander, and bullying. In addition, bidding experience for a reasonable schedule was a joke unless you had high seniority and those with high seniority would stalk and harass you so they could end up with the perfect schedule while you end up working over 35 hours as a part time teammate with zero benefits.
Advice to Management
None. Vx no longer exists. But if it did I'd say learn how to communicate without being a bully and treat people how you would like to be treated otherwise don't work in customer service.
