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
Colleagues are excellent and crew rooms are decent.
Cons
Standby patterns are punishing.

Sick leave is not held against you, which matters more than people expect. The trade-off is a roster that assumes you will always be available on days off. [demo]
Pros
Good route mix, not the same four sectors forever.
Cons
Roster changes constantly, right up to the day.
