Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at WestJet full-time for more than a year
Pros
ESPP, Benefits, some really great co-workers, life experience, learn from example how not to manage
Cons
Salary is not commensurate with experience, skill or merit . You can't believe any promises or commitments from leadership. No accountability. No consistency. They are too focused on presenting a good image. The reality is so bad but constructive criticism or suggestions for improvement are as good as blasphemy and the efforts are all diverted to making superficial changes that are easy and painless.

Pros
People in general are good and helpful, you can find a family like group here. Schedule is flexible and in general is great if you have a second income.
Cons
Salary! you will be very broke if you only rely on this salary, even picking up shifts, pay checks qualify at the end as minimum wage. You only get paid while on the air and a very minimum percentage while being away, they sell you these at the beginning as is a lot of money but is not. You will be away for long days and even when not working, you ll be so tired that your hotel beds will be your best friends. If you start at WJ Encore, you need to wait about 2 years before moving to main line. Union is very new and no much protection is there yet.
