Cons
...but as an employee on the inside, it's utter mayhem. It's like putting makeup on a pig. 1. Top-Heavy company with extremely rigid hierarchy 2. Shockingly poor Training and Talent Development program. 3. Zero transparency from HR or Admin depts; they are akin to a cult. 4. Poor Cross-Functional Communication from all departments. 5. Outdated, contradictory or inaccessible policies and procedures. 6. Ludicrous workload expectations, hence offsetting the good pay. 7. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.. leading to an airline that is years behind it's competition in almost every area imaginable. 8. Oversaturated with employees that have been there for 15 or 20+ years; most of them haven't changed the way they work for 20+ years, even if it's antiquated and inefficient, contributing to a brain-drain at the company. 9. Bureaucracy so bad, it'll make the federal government blush 10. Old and counterintuitive internal systems that get patch fixed every week; it's basically like putting a band aid on a shotgun wound.
