Pros

Flying benefits after 30 days of hiring date helps travel fanatics feed their travel bug. Also they have quarterly and annual bonuses that are very nice when you qualify for them. There's also a awesome feature in some of their unions that allow you to transfer departments within the same union. Exp. I was in the call center and without an interview or drug test, I hopped into a CSA position when I qualified.

Cons

You'll definitely be asked to work 24/7 when you first start. Also the union dues are a little much if you are trying to live off of only the one paycheck.

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 Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles.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 The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with.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.
