Pros

Mostly new staff, open to (some) new ideas; new HQ in West Loop; travel opportunities; half day Fridays in the Summer

Cons

No work/life balance, you will consistently work nights/12 hour days; benefits are ok - not as stellar as you would think a high-profile corporation would be; communication between departments is not great.

Pros

Good first job but don't stay for more than 2 years unless you get promoted to a manager.

Cons

Job has low pay. Won't give you raises unless they promote you, you are treated the same as a new hire even if you have 2 years of experience. Crew members have no say in anything, they claim when you become a crew trainer your opinion matters.
