Pros

None. There are literally no pros. Wait, I take that back. They have limited CASS, but you won't really get enough time off to use it. You gain flight time, but every days seems like a battle between losing your license, getting fired, or crashing.

Cons

Nepotism. Poor maintenance. Poor quality of life. Horrible schedules. Poor benefits. Pushed to fly in unsafe conditions. Worst contract I have even seen in aviation. Stay far away.

Pros

Decent place to build flight hours, at least when they still had routes to fly, pilot group was great and made some really good friends, Captain pay is actually decent for flying Caravans part 135, not so much for a First Officer. Flying experience is valuable flying in Class B airspace, in challenging weather, dealing with difficult pax, etc. Overall, a good look at what it's like to work for an airline.

Cons

Management is toxic, the chief pilot is great but most others in management don't respond promptly with emails and treat you with a condescending attitude. Communication between upper management and employees is nearly non-existent, which promotes rumors and gossip. Aircraft are maintained, but only to the extent that they are "legal" to fly, not much else. The kicker is the "training" contract, either 18 or 24 months depending on how many hours you come in with, which is a LONG time to be stuck there unless you have the $$$ to get out of it.
