Pros
Brand Image, colleagues, travel benefits, building
Cons
Prehistoric IT, no clear path for development, Lagging behind competition, constantly changing strategy and never allow time for changes to bed in before changing again
Advice to Management
Trim management levels, become a PROPER business not a billionaire mans play thing. Get rid of the old staff and cabin crew who are too comfortable and change averse to let you move forward.

Pros
NO PROS AT ALL! THIS IS THE TYPE OF BUSINESS THAT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A JOB!
Cons
This company is an affront to the human being! They have the guts to pay 10.17 per hour for people who speaks 2 to 3 languages, standing, lifting heavy weight, with NO BENEFITS!
Advice to Management
Get your facts straight, you are in The U.S. and not in England! Slavery time is over long ago. You should have some respect for human being and pay a decent pay rate!
