Pros

Stable company and benefits ok.

Cons

The upper management has many people that really do not know what is going on. Its like GM the good old boys club if some one doesn't like you watch out, there will bill a target on your back. When you have a problem with an employee they can whine to upper management and then you are the bad guy, rather then back your decisions on supervision. Avoid this place unless you are uneducated and cant find work elsewhere.

Pros

The company offers a benefits package including medical insurance, a 401(k)/Roth retirement plan, and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), although the ESOP's performance has been underwider expectations. Employees are eligible for paid time off, accrued sick leave, and 40 hours of unpaid time off. Additionally, there is a desire to reinstate the previous $25 attendant's bonus program, which was a valued component of the compensation package.

Cons

The organization struggles with reliability, as promises are often not kept. Favoritism and dishonesty are prevalent, leading to a sense of disvaluation and lack of appreciation among team members. Opportunities are not equitably distributed, and management is ineffective, with a tendency to micromanage. Disrespectful behavior is exhibited, and communication is limited, requiring individuals to proactively seek information and answers to questions.
