Pros

Allegiant’s schedule model works well with my life. It’s a huge plus that the airline does turns and I’m home each night. I like that I occasionally have the option to work charters that are overnights, to add variety to my schedule. I work in a base with great co-workers. We all work to help each other out, especially if some needs help covering a shift or picking up more hours. This has made the flexibility of scheduling days off one of the best things about this job. My family and I utilize the health insurance and are very happy with the coverage. The flights benefits on Allegiant are great and I’ve also taken advantage of using partnership airlines to travel overseas. Another positive for me is that Allegiant hires by base. You know where you will be based when you apply. I’m very lucky that when a based opened in the city I live in, I could take advantage of this opportunity. There are opportunities for growth.

Cons

Pay. The starting wage for new flight attendants is low. Unless you have a second job or are in a situation that you are not the main bread winner of the family, the pay is low. Before accepting a position, consider if your financial responsibilities can be met just by the GUARANTEED flight hours. There is the possibility of picking up more hours, but that should be considered the exception not the rule. Not all bases will have extra hours to pick up, so it’s important to make sure you are prepared for the reality of first couple year’s pay scale.

Pros

You would have a varied schedule.

Cons

You work a flight and immediately turn back around to go back. You're on the plane all day. There's no time to step off.the plane to get food or snacks or just to walk around.

Pros

The benefits are great and you build relationships very easily.

Cons

Management is awful and my direct manager awful. State you can ask whatever questions and do a complete 180 on you to get you fired. No work life balance because god forbid you ask for time off, a war happens.
