Fatigue reports get acknowledged and then closed with no change. Safety reports are handled properly, so it is clearly a crewing problem rather than a culture problem, but that does not help when you are on your fourth…
Pros
Modern fleet, well maintained.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.

Fair pay, no roster stability at all

Pay lands on time and the per diems are accurate, which is more than I can say for my last airline. What wears you down is the standby pattern and how late the changes come through. [demo]
Pros
Safety reporting is taken seriously.
Cons
Days off are theoretical.

Solid contract, the reality does not match it

The roster is published on the 25th and changes several times before the month starts. Days off get rostered and then removed at short notice, which makes anything outside work impossible to plan. [demo]
Pros
Pay arrives on time, every month.
Cons
Commuting policy is far stricter than it reads.
