Pros

Sure, you get to travel for free. It's really THE draw to work there.

Cons

Some of the worst "profit sharing" in the industry. Extremely low rate of pay, ineffective hiring and staff management. Company has no honor or integrity to employees, will renege on terms of employment and there is no recourse. Terrible unions, 'in bed' with company. Everyone is treated as totally replaceable. Turned their back on employees made terribly ill from the new uniform issue, will not acknowledge since legal liability means more than employee health and welfare.

People, 401k match, flight benefits

Low Pay for Tech, flight benefits for standby are now harder to use. Lots of offshoring. Company does not seem to know where to go. Lowest of the totem pole for airlines.
