Pros
-Chance to develop your career and experience across a diversity of organisational functions (customer services, engineering, finance, marketing, IT, operations). -Staff travel is good if you pick your dates of travel and destinations wisely (i.e don't expect to breeze onto a flight to Orlando/Barbados in peak season). -Good work life balance compared with some companies. -A truly fascinating industry. Still learning after many, many years. Some great people to work with across a diversity of departments.
Cons
-Unless you make it well up what is becoming an increasingly flat structure (so there is a lot of competition for middle/senior mgmt roles), the money is average to reasonable at best. If you want to be rich quickly, you're probably looking in the wrong place. -Can be a bit bureaucratic at times. -A very cyclic industry. Aviation is normally first into any downturn, so pick your moment to make your move.
