Pros

The pros were great, detailed, extensive training and mentor programs. The exit interview is also easy to schedule. The schedules are odd, but after the first 90 days you can swap days or have other employees work your day instead of using up your personal leave time. I can't think of any other pros.

Cons

For anyone with a spouse brace yourselves for the major friction that comes with the hours and days a beginner will have to work. You will either be waking up at 1:30 AM and clocking in at 3:30 AM or you will be working all evening. There are no normal shift hours, not even for upper level positions. Also note you will work weekend days and holidays for at least the first year if you stay part-time. If you go full-time you are looking at three years until you can get one weekend day off on your schedule. If you are married with children this isn't the job for you. If you are a single parent don't even think about this job. Also note since the employee parking lot is no where near the airport automatically add 30 minutes to what you think your commute will be. The parking lot takes time and you have to wait for a shuttle bus to get to the actual airport.
