The benefits were great at Continental Airlines. We got to see a lot of the world.

Advancement is based on who you know, not what you know. The merger will dampen it even further.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't lose the original Continental Airlines company culture.

Pros

-Work-Life balance was incredible. Time off is very flexible, whenever needed. The first manager I had would let us go early sometimes for happy hour! (too bad things didnt' stay that way)
-Travel benefits are unmatched.
-Lot of good people to work with (depending on group)

Cons

-Salary was mediocre compared to industry average. Lot of "new hires" fresh out of college.
-Difficult to move up the ladder.
-A lot depends on the group you are in. My first team was incredible, I loved it. Then they had cutbacks and I moved into a group that was horrible. Can be "clickish".
