Pros
Gain experience to work elsewhere. They offer you a job when you are unemployed. There are some great destinations with a lot of flying in Latin America. The mountain flying is challenging. All very desirable for your next employer.
Cons
Management goes out of their way to attack employess and disrupt their personal lives. Travel benefits of working for an airline are made next to impossible to use at Spirit Airlines. Work schedules are reversed within a 24 hour period so that you are up working all 24 hours of the day during a 2 day trip, you will be exhausted while you fly and for 3 days afterwards.

Pros
*Reserve is in 10 hr periods, not 24hrs - most are off reserve within 1-2 years. *Friendly, professional coworkers make all the difference *The job isn't usually difficult and is 40% routine-60% customer service . *There's been a noticeable improvement in behaviour since the masks became optional. *Travel benefits aren't the best in the biz but they're enough to get you wherever you want to go *Most of our layover hotels are very nice - union members worked hard to get hotels we're happy with *Lots of bases avail for transfer when openings allow ATL DAL DTW FLL IAH ORD LAS MIA MCO I really enjoy working for Spirit and am proud of the the efforts made in creating a better customer experience like self bag drops at the airport, onboard WiFi, Big Front Seats, and our new cabin seating with wide aisles. Overall, Spirit has been a great place to work
Cons
* Reserve life can be exhausting physically and emotionally *Supervisors aren't always available, and communication is often lacking *First year pay is just not ideal. If at all possible, plan to live at home, or share with one or more roomies. You wont be home that much anyway. *Commuting on Reserve is the worst - don't do it to yourself. *Delays-Extensions-Reroutes-Cancellations are a thing *If you don't really like people, you won't like this job.
