- Vacation & Paid Time Off (52 comments)
“2 weeks off after first year, scheduling ability to make a 2 week vacation into a month off if desired.”

Relatively cheap medical insurance. 10% discount on stock purchases. Solid flight benefits. Fly free throughout the SWA network. However, you pay taxes on international SWA flights. SWA allows employees to sit in the jump seat if the aircraft is at capacity. 401 match up to 9.3%.

The benefits are perfect. I can't think of anything more that they could do to improve. SWA has one of the best benefits packages in the industry.

Best things are the travel benefits, very low cost for health insurance, flexible work hours. Can't think of a worst thing.

Best: There is some great flexibility. Worst: It's expensive and doesn't fully cover name brand meds even if that's all you can have.
