Pros

Compassion of other employees and a few of the managers who knew what they were doing.

Cons

Unqualified business managers. Put friends into positions they were not qualified for. Not ONE not even the MD had a degree in Business....not even a Bachelor of Business degree.Uneducated, uncouth, no morals or ethics and these were business managers, the Managers were not much better. It was a disgrace an International Airline would hire such people. Horrible working conditions. No backgound checks on employees, so had people with criminal records working there. They knew it, but kept them anyway. They had employees with substance abuse problems and alcoholics.....no drug tests were done. Staff in Uk treated US staff poorly. Travel benefits were a joke. NO one deserves to be treated as poorly as US staff

Pros

Good flight discounts and travel benefits such as cheap hotels, car hire etc. Opportunities to work in different areas of the business, although career progression is somewhat limited. Good work-life balance compared to other industries

Cons

Quite a bureaucratic company and it's often slow to get anything done
